The 20 Minute Aikido Practice
With work and family, Aikido sometimes is not a priority when it comes to daily life. This 20 Minute Aikido Morning Practice is my morning routine or when I have a spare 20 mins to do Aikido.
When I have time usually on Sundays and there’s no class (Keiko) at our dojo I go to Narrabeen Beach (or where ever I am) and do Aikido.
So make time. Wake up early, and do Aikido before you start your busy day.
I made this video to share with you to guide you and (so like me) do Aikido every day for only 20 mins. I hope this training video helps your Aikido too. ENJOY!
