ACV Kids on Aikido

My name is Blake Sullivan. I have been taking aikido lessons twice a week, since the beginning of October. I have learned stories of how you should use the martial art in a good way. Also how it first began. The good way is not to seriously hurt somebody. This is not a very easy thing to do, it takes a lot of courage. What I look forward to with this is how it will help me later on in life. For happiness is not to be scared of mean and cruel people. I also hope it helps me out with baseball. Aikido will make me aware. That's what I've learned and hope happens to me.

At first you think "I will never be a black belt."
I think you think that too.
Kick in aikido? Never.
In aikido you blend.
Do aikido and you will be glad.
On and on...soon you will get much better.

AIKIDO TEACHES ME NOT TO START FIGHTS BUT ONLY TO DEFEND MYSELF AND END THE FIGHT.

Germaine Persinger, Age 9


Aikido is stopping fights, using all senses and being patient. That's what I have learned so far.
