Product Description

Product Description

Written by the son of the author of "Best Aikido - The Fundamentals" and grandson of the founder of Aikido Morihei Ueshiba, the theme of this book is "variation", with more techniques demonstrated and fully illustrated than most other aikido titles. Many moves are illustrated in both their omote and ura forms, thus offering a full and broad understanding of not only the physical aspects, but also of the philosophical essence of this popular discipline.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Aikido 2, 19 Dec 2003
By A Customer
I recently ordered this publication, and was quite surprised that the format was very simular to the old set of five books published by Morihiro Saito Sensei in the early 1970's. The beginning of the book has very clear stylised photo's taken in the Aikikai Hombu, in front of the now very famous caligraphy by O Sensei. Doshu concentrates on the same techniques all the way through the book from different attacks. Also some Jo, Bokken & Tanto techniques. Although, I am Sure Saito Sensei would not be too happy with the one Jo technique, where the hand should be inside the jo, and not outside as demonstrated. Far from me to correct the Doshu of the Aikikai.
The pictures are quite easy to follow, unlike some Aikido publications. This book would suit a medium Kyu grade to Dan grade level. If the reader is interested in weapon work, this book has very little to offer, and perhaps the fore mentioned Saito Sensei series would be more of interest. (Volume 2)

5.0 out of 5 stars Best aikido, 25 Mar 2007
By Spider Monkey (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This is a good book for the beginner. It answers most questions and demonstrates the fundemental techniques. It is one to refer back to after/or just before a class. I recommend the first part to this book, as well as the third installment from Moriteru Ueshiba, they are both as good as this and combined make an excellent aikido reference.
