Summary: Respect
Comment: OK, before I see any more 3, 4 stars on this review, understand... This IS the original Morihei Ueshiba work (translated of course) not recommending this book for any reason is like not recommending the bible to a Christian. Of course over the years there is over a hundred texts with wonderful pics and illustrations which is what he would have wanted anyway however this book is what it is. Like the bible or Magna Carta it is the fundamental document and should not get any rating other than 5 stars, especially by an AIKIDOKA regardless of Kyu or rank. Anything less would highly disrespectful.

Summary: Budo
Comment: It's got some interesting takes on Aikido, and some really good photos of O Sensei, but I felt that it wasn't put together cogently, or at least enough to keep my attention. If you like Aikido, I would recommend getting 'the art of peace' before I would recommend this work.

Summary: Budo: Teachings of the Founder of Aikido
Comment: This is a fascinating book about the life of O'Sensei, arguably the best martial artist of his time, and the founder of the Art of Peace--Aikido. I believe every serious aikido student should read this book. The photographs and stories help to humanize the reality of this man. Far from diminishing his legend, the book reveals just how impressive in reality this man was both physically and spiritually, especially in light of the personal tragedies and hardships he faced and overcame.

Summary: I originally bought this for my best friend...
Comment: I originally bought this for my best friend, a random gift. He use to practice Aikido when he was younger and I was hoping to get him interested in it. However the book never left my house because I read the book and decided to keep it for myself. Greedy? Sure. The book is very nice because of the way it is written. It shows poetry written by O'Sensei as well as a brief story of his life. The most interesting part however is the fact that the person who created Aikido appears in the techniques. He is, by the looks of it, in his 30s and 40s, so he does not resemble the famous old man that people reconize. The photos, for there age, are quite detailed. I recommend this for any martial artist.
