A research was conducted on a sample of 36 participants from the recreational population, beginners in real aikido, aged 30 (± 5years). The research aimed at determining the effects of a tri-monthly training of real aikido. The three-month period is the optimal time during which balance changes could occur. The research subject involves programmed training process, in which the “polygon” methodical-organizational form has a primary role in balance improvement among adult beginners who train real aikido. A balance was estimated by means of a test taken over from the Eurofit test battery for adults, involving standing on one leg with one’s eyes closed. Statistical data analysis showed the existence of a statistically significant difference between posttest (2.53 ±0.81) and pretest results (2.94 ±1.09), which proved that the polygon factor has a clear impact on the participants’ balance, and that it is undoubtedly possible to make use of the applied experimental factor in balance development among the recreational population.
