Is aikido only an art for young people?

How do you define "quality" of the art being taught?

What is the demographic profile of your community, and where do you expect new students to come from?

If you think it is impossible to practice or teach aikido effectively with bad knees, might I suggest that your concept of the art is a bit limited?

If you think it is impossible to improve while teaching, might I suggest that your understanding of the art of teaching is limited, too?
