4.0 out of 5 stars clearly presented with easy visual drawings, 27 Jul 2000
By A Customer
Second book I read on subject while in another country...drawings of techniques. Gives a good insight into what aikidoists could be looking for.Strangely enough, I would actually recommend this book as a first book to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Aikido is grace in motion. . . great book!, 3 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This is a must read for those of who have been looking for a fresh approach to the martial arts. I first read the book and then had the luck to enroll in Gaku Homma's school. Aikido is something you can really approach with a beginner's mind and learn lessons for life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A enjoyable book detailing the purpose of Aikido, 23 April 1997
By A Customer
I read this book on a train journey from Amsterdam to Brussels and I found it to be a delightful companion. The essence of the book is that Aikido is a Way of life (not just a philosophical way) and that Aikido is more than just a martial art or throwing people about. It is a easy book to read, and I must say that the drawings are the most noticeable and endearing aspect of this authors books. Simply, it is to be enjoyed and read again.
