5.0 out of 5 stars An intresting insight into aikido, 29 May 2001
As an avid martial artist I have dabbled in many styles, aikido is one such style. Although my experience does not put me into a position to comment on the technical ability shown in this text those who are in such a position rate it very highly. As an 'outsider' fron another system I can say that the book is very clear, in depth with an order to it and highly polished. Such quality makes it easy to appreciate to qualities and effectiveness of aikido. Also the techniques are explained so thoroughly that one not skilled in the art of aikido can still use them effectively.

It is quite exeptional in an area of martial arts literature, which is often riddled with mediocre texts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific book that crams tons of info between covers, 13 May 1998
By A Customer
Next to "Aikido and the Dynanmic Sphere" by Westbrook and Ratti, this is by far the best book on Aikido that I have read yet. Clear, easy to follow pictures break the techniques down into understandable segments; also includes great section on how Japanese police officers use aikido to defend themselves against knives and clubs!
