I have one herniated disc in my lower lumbar and one ruptured disc is my lower lumbar above the herniated one.

Would it be wide for me to consider learning Aikido?
It's not so simpe.

It depends on your symptons, on what moves you can do or not.

And it depends on the style of Aikido you want to do.

I myself don't experience Aikido to be "a good discipline for handicapped and elderly people."

But:
Just visit a dojo, look at what they do and find out by yourself whether it's ok for you.
