Dear friends!

It seems that very recently many people did not know what aikido is. And today it is a full-fledged kind of martial arts, which tens of thousands of people in our country are engaged in.
In the outgoing year in St. Petersburg the World Combat Games took place, where the national team of the Russian Federation was one of the best among the participants.

The Russian National Aikido Board was accredited in the Russian Ministry of Sports. And at the last Presidium ambitious decisions were made to develop aikido in Russia, which undoubtedly will be fulfilled. And in this regard I would like to wish all the practitioners of aikido even greater success, even greater contacts, as well as health to all of you and your loved ones.

Happy New Year 2014!
