Customer Rating: Summary: A must-have for serious Aikido students. Comment: Very well presented material. There is something here for any level of training. Many core concepts explained. Customer Rating: Summary: aikido exercises for teaching and training Comment: Book was interesting and informative. Book covered some items that I haven't seen addressed anywhere else. I would recommend this book especially for people new to Aikido. Customer Rating: Summary: Full of useful tips and tricks Comment: I'd sincerely recommend this book to very beginners and... yes, to sensei.
The most valuable point of the book is that instead of usual plain listing of the standard techniques of this or that style, it concentrates on the basic principles - "how, why, and when it works", thus offering basic building blocks, and lots of unique tips and tricks. The principles are beyond the style differences, and thus applicable to everyone.
For sensei it contains many tips of how to handle difficulties of beginners.
