Product Description
Product Description
These inspirational teachings show that the real way of the warrior is based on compassion, wisdom, fearlessness, and love of nature. Drawn from the talks and writings of Morihei Ueshiba, founder of the popular Japanese martial art known as Aikido, The Art of Peace, presented here in a pocket-sized edition, offers a nonviolent way to victory and a convincing counterpoint to such classics as Musashi's Book of Five Rings and Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Format:Paperback
Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of aikido, was in my view one of the greatest martial artists of all time. Although being a man of peace, he fully understood where and when force must be used, and even as an old man of 81 he could take on almost any number of opponents, defeat them, but leave them unharmed.
He was a man totally in control of his life and destiny and this book is full of quotes and short poems that he based his life upon. Instead of teaching you how to deliver fast and deadly kicks, Morihei Ueshiba believed that if you trained enough, were confident in yourself, and were in tune with your suroundings, then you can take on anybody.
This is a book for anybody, you do not have to practice aikido, or any style of martial art for that matter, it is a book explaining Morihei Ueshiba goverend his life and how he believed everybody should live theirs.

Format:Paperback
In this little book, the founder of one of the world's most effective martial arts, Aikido, explains the philosophy that led him to take the brutal bone-crunching techniques of juijitsu, the head slicing strokes of Yagyu ryu kenjutsu, and other deadly arts and transform them into gentle, nonviolent ways of resolving conflict. A very worthwhile read. I guarantee you'll learn something.

Tiny, not worth the money
A tiny book and I do mean tiny...
Content is ok, but it is simply not worth the spend. Nice concept but doesn't quite work.

Micro book
I'm a big fan of Morihei Ueshiba but this book is a waste of ink. In case you have not looked at it, it is a series of 4 to 12 line proverbs. Read more

A fantastic book!
this book is brilliant!
little chunks of writing interspersed with Ueshiba's poetry and calligraphy, it is a lovely book to dip in to every now and then. Read more

A Refreshing Read
This book is almost the antithesis of Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War' and validates itself through, in the beginning, the fine example of what Morihei Ueshibas did with his life... Read more
