When I went to Napa JUCO for 2 years to play ball our coach insisted that we took an Aikido class…He said the Japanese stretching exercises would help a lot.. I ended up with a brown belt before transferring to Sonoma State… I believe that all kids..And esp. Girls should be taught a Marshal Art in grade school just like Math…
I recall getting my ass kicked from this little girl in College that was a black belt.. It was embarrassing… All kids need to be taught self defense
