Editorial Reviews:

In the first half of the book Gaku Homma gives a very detailed and convincing account of how he came to the martial arts (and aikido in particular), and how this has shaped his practice as a teacher. He gives many examples of conversations he's had with parents who want to enroll their kids in his classes, which serve to illustrate many of the wrong reasons parents want children to participate in martial arts. In the second half, he gives examples of many of the exercises children in his aikido classes perform, accompanied by black-and-white line drawings.

Summary: una buena herramienta para ayudar al crecimiento de los niños
Comment: el maestro homma entrega esta obra donde comparte las experiencias cosechadas a lo largo de tantos años de trabajo en la enseñanza de aikido a niños.
la primera parte de la obra se dirige a ordenar una serie de principios, nociones y reglas generales para el trabajo con los mas chicos para llevarlos de la mano de juegos a sus primeros pasos en el aprendizaje de un arte marcial, específicamente del aikido.
en la segunda parte incursiona en la aplicaición de distintas técnicas básicas y su transmisión
por último en el capítulo tercero enuncia una serie de ejercicios que tienen que ver con el entrenamiento previo a la práctica, donde muestra distintos ejercicios que con la apariencia de juegos, están dirigidos a fortalecer la aptitud y capacidad física del practicante.
Al comprar la obra esperé encontrar aplicaciones de este tipo (con alguna vinculación con juegos) relacionadas con la transmisión y enseñanza de técnicas.
la ausencia de este punto es lo que me lleva a no calificar esta magnífica obra con las cinco estrellas que la harían la obra ideal para auxiliar al profesor que trasmite el maravilloso arte del aikido a los más chicos....

Summary: Very Helpful
Comment: There are not alot of books out there about teaching the Martial Arts to children especially for Aikido so I really appreciated the point of view from Gaku Homma. The books was insightful in some of the ways you must deal with parents and also his training practices.
