Re: Tomiki Aikido As an Olympic Sport!

Speaking about Olympics though, I think we have an interesting problem, as Aikido is already included in the World Games, which hosts games not included in the Olympics. So I don't think Aikido can get into the Olympics any more, as it already has a place at thw World Games level (the organisers of which have some agreements with the IOC regarding what games are included). The World Games site is here - http://www.worldgames-iwga.org/vsite...m-item,00.html .

The thing is though, only Aikikai schools can "compete" at the World Games (only schools recognised by the IAF).

Go figure.
