Sometimes we are confronted with questions from adults about whether it is too late for them to start practicing aikido. Age is not the same, plasticity with elasticity decreases, and there is not as much strength as we would like. On this score, we always have an unequivocal opinion: it is never too late to move forward.
Many parents and adults who come to us to practice ask: “Why is there no competition in Aikido?”. The answer is very simple – they are not provided from the beginning. Although some federations and clubs still hold them, but about this later.
Applied Aikido is a Serbian system of self-defense, developed by Master Radojica Spasovic, Black Belt 9 Dan.

We have only one answer – there is no age restrictions in Aikido, especially in Applied Aikido. It doesn’t really matter, how old is your child or even you when it comes to workouts. However it is really important to have passion and desire to practice and workout.
If you are happy parents of a charming girl and think about the sports section, we can say with full confidence that Applied Aikido for children is the best option. Consider the benefits of aikido for girls in more detail.
