Aikido contains many spiritual elements. How long would it take to acquire a basic understanding of Aikido starting from the very beginning?
Kisshomaru Ueshiba: Since there are both coordinated and uncoordinated people I can’t make any general statement, but when a person practices for about three months he comes to have some understanding of what Aikido is. And those who have completed three months of practice will train for six months. If you practice for six months, then you can continue for an indefinite time. Those who have only a superficial interest will quit before three months.
