Why should you try Aikido? What's the purpose of traditional martial arts today? At my age - should I be getting into martial arts? What should my kids expect from a dojo? Reuven Lirov, a veteran of martial arts of over 29 years, gives an overview of his take on what Aikido means today, how it impacts hundreds of thousands of lives around the world, and what you should look for in a dojo at any age. The goal of this book is to help the wider public gain an understanding of Aikido's basic message of traditional martial arts training as a way to bring peace on Earth. Reuven's unique history in Judo, Muay Thai, Hwa Rang Do, Escrima, JKD, and other arts, is brought to bear as a way to help anyone, regardless of age, choose a dojo that will serve them throughout their lives.

Martial arts is a journey meant for our entire lives - but often in America, we lose sight of that because of endless competitions and fear of injury. Through these pages, Reuven hopes you will glean the endless benefits of a consistent traditional martial arts practice, especially those benefits that extend beyond the mat and into our work, friendships, and families. Together, let's make the world a better place, one throw at a time. Osu!

The habits Aikido training helps one can enable one to become more focused, more disciplined & less confrontational. It can help you become a better version of yourself when you commit to Aikido. You are not only committing to the practice but the founder's vision of harmony. A main concept of Aikido is about non-confrontation. Blend & Extend. Do not block and stop. Redirect. This important principle carries through daily life, as no doubt, we all experience conflict in one way or another. And how we meet a challenge, a conflict, and what we decide to ultimately do is the essence of Aikido.
