Very useful book - Rated
I bought this nearly 2 years ago and have come back to it time & time again. It contains large and clear photographs of all of the basic aikido techniques together with nice explanations and meanings in Japanese. It also provides useful information on the history of Aikido, dojo etiquette and some additional pointers for people just starting out.
An excellent beginner's guide - Rated
An excellently presented book that provides those interested in this martial art with sensible and practical instruction. It has clear photographs of the important moves and is clearly and concisely written. Its main strength undoubtedly lies in its usefulness to those who have recently joined an Aikido club. It manages to open up a somewhat mysterious martial art to public gaze with an easy-going, sensible and modern style. It's other strength, I'm sure, lies in its ability to attract curious newcomers to Aikido by making them more aware of what is involved, in a very practical and hands-on way, and thus making the move to a club considerably easier.
Just the tip of the iceberg! - Rated
For the keen enthusiast or a beginner, this book allows the reader to get an insight into the remarkable art of Aikido. Explosivley packed with clear pictures, detailed history, invaluble terminology and weapons that are used. I personaly like to use this book for reference and educational purposes. With all forms and techniques clearly laid out, correct posture in the dojo, philosophy, exercises for the physical and mental aspect.
