Re: Aikido Training for Those with Physical Limitations

I think anyone within reason who has a disability and would like to study martial arts should be allowed to do so, its a case of finding the right class/instructor which might not be Aikido based.
I used to teach my dads buddy who was 73 at the time and an ex Aikido student, he was able to continue learning Aikido and other techniques from using a simple Kali/Escrima drill.
No need to do rolls breakfalls etc etc, just kept it all in stand up position, he enjoyed it! and thats all that matters.
