    YES and NO

    Yes, IMHO Aikido is a legit martial art depending on how you train.

    No, you are not too old. I started at 44 (16 years ago).

    How can you bring it back if it never left?
    I hate it when things leave and I don't notice.
    How long has it been gone?

    IMHO, many of us just add to the way we train.
