Why Aikido3D?
What started as an experiment for creating a next generation training tool, quickly drew attention and gained momentum. Why not apply modern film-making and video-game technologies to create a new breed of exploration tool and revolutionize what books, videos or DVD’s have delivered so far.
Following the success of the original Aikido3D program, and after 5 years in the making, we are very pleased to introduce an all-new and improved Aikido3D 2.0 to our world-wide user base and to all Aikido enthusiasts around the globe!
What’s Next?
- We are closely watching Aikido3D’s impact while gathering as much feedback from users as we possibly can. Many new feature in version 2.0 came from users requests and suggestions.
- With an already rapidly developing list of more requests, we will keep evolving and adding content to Aikido3D.
- Visit www.tkd3d.com for the best in Taekwondo Training!
- We are also working on applying similar 3D methods to other Sports and Martial Arts.
Check back with us for updates and developments.
