Excellent Akido Primer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is an excellent book for all Aikido students. Easy to read and follow. Great book to understand what it is to start a martial art, espcially aikido. Basics are answered and this book will help you from your very first class. From dojo etiquette, how to fold your hakama, history, philosophy, basic techniques and waza.
Excellent introduction to philosophy and martial aspects.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Co-authored by an outstanding Aikido Sensei and one of his former students (an accomplished practitioner and instructor of several arts in his own right), "The Essence of Aikido" is precisely that. It contains an exploration of the philosophy, without which the true understanding of the art is (in my opinion) impossible. It also illustrates several of the basic techniques, including both empty hand techniques and more practical Aiki-based defenses to attacks with weapons, kicks, and the like.A must for both those new to the art and the more experienced Aikidoka.
The best book out on Aikido fundamentals.
