5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent view including Ki , Techiques and Training tools, 19 Feb 2000

By A Customer

Excellent view of Aikido from both a beginner's and more advanced Aikidoka's point of view with aspects of how to start, showing the equipment and weapons that are used in training, through Dojo etiquette and principles of Ki. Then moves on to warming up exercises the principles behind each technique. Each technique is then described and points out what you should be looking for during your practice, and how varying the technique can change the effort required. Weapons are introduced to show student each basically describing the names and uses and how simple practice techniques can be adopted. Overall I found this book enhanced my own knowledge and allowed me to look further into the techniques that I have been practicing and gave me some hints on how I could enhance my training through some of the suggested training tools and adaptions to my everyday life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Encourages experimentation, 18 Sep 2000

By A Customer

This Book has an anecdotal manner and encourages an interactive approach to learning suggesting loads of experiments that can be attempted.It is unlike the usual "Monkey See, Monkey Do" approach of most such books. Its many digressions are informative and entertaining causing one to view aikido in a new light. They keep this book at my bedside when my other aikido volumes gather dust on a shelves somwhere. Highly reccommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good if a bit strange, 9 April 2003

By	R. Strauss (Wellington, Somerset United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

I have mixed feelings over this book. All in all I am pleased to have it but not excited. The diagrams are reasomable if not upto Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere standard. There are no photos. It covers all the basics like techniques, breakfalls, etiquette, warming-up and the exercise used in the Ki Society. Indeed, while there is a definate bias towards the teachings of Tohei sensei the author never looks down on other teaches styles. This is one of the strengths of this book, the author comes over a really nice guy who is has done a lot of teaching. Some of his ideas of putting things across are very good,some are differant and some are a bit strange. Bet he is good with kids.
