f-defensive, non-competitive martial art. In terms of its health benefits, Aikido has something to offer people of all ages. The workout can be as aerobic as a person chooses by adjusting the speed, strength and pace of the attack. Aikido also helps improve a person's balance, flexibility and coordination.
