Unlike most Aikido manuals, this one draws from multiple systems (including Aikikai and Yoshinkan Aikido as well as Judo) and many seemingly unrelated topics to enhance understanding of the underlying principles of Aikido. Peppered with humorous anecdotes, creative analogies, and real-life lessons, this is a practical and inspiring guide for all Aikidoists.
"I wish I'd had a book like this one when I started teaching 25
years ago! A valuable resource for beginners, senior students, and teachers
of the art."
--George Simcox, Virginia Ki Society
