Re: AAA vs AWA
Julie,
The AAA & AWA are just two of a multitude of organizations that fall under the umbrella of the Aikikai which in itself is one of about four larger "entities" or styles of the single disciple of Aikido.
The explanation as to why these styles and different organizations exists could take several years to outline, but eventually, it could all be explained by the over-simplicifation that we are all human, and when humans have differences of opinions that cannot readily be resolved we tend to fracture and segregate.
Bottom line for you though, both the AAA and AWA have good solid reputations within the Aikido Community. If you're looking for which one would be better for your son, I'd tell you to look at the specific dojo first and foremost. As a beginner in Aikido it really doesn't matter whether or not your in the AAA or AWA.....
Regards, Joe
