The friend on the phone was very unfriendly and rude!
And his dejected beliefs are completely discouraging. They called to find out if it is possible to bring children to study. They have been practicing this sport for about three years, looking for a place to continue. Well, in his opinion, it turned out that children cannot learn what Aikido is! I definitely would not want to lead not only children to such a coach, but also adults do not want to go.
