Aikido In Training : A Manual of Traditional Aikido Practice and Principles Review

I found Aikido In Training to be an excellent training manual and reference book. I think anyone who enjoys learning from a book, should get a copy to refer to often in their practice. I wish there was a softcover available of this title, so that I could throw it in my gi bag. Any serious Aikido student, should have their copy dog-eared in no time. The book contains a concise section on the History of Aikido that moves the reader. The Principles of Training section, as well as the rest of the book, encourages the reader to look deeper and keep looking to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Art. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to know more about Aikido and suggest anyone interested should seek out the companion video series which expands on the extensive material presented in the book.

This full-size, hardbound, extensive reference containing 336 pages with over 1250 photographs depicts techniques in a concise step-by-step manner. Along with covering Tai-Jutsu (body arts) of Aikido, Aikido In Training gives ample coverage to the overlooked and often misunderstood aspect of Buki-Waza (Aiki weapons). Included are full chapters on both the life of O'Sensei Ueshiba Morihei and the history of the development of Aikido as well as the Principles of Training found in the practice of Traditional Aikido.

If you have any interest in the life and ways of the founder of Aikido, this is a delightful book of paragraph-long snapshots of experiences people had with O Sensei. I really enjoyed the various perspectives.

Morihei Ueshiba (1883–1969), founder of the Japanese martial art of Aikido, is one of the greatest and most beloved martial artists in history. Remembering O-Sensei is a portrait of Ueshiba as told by his uchi-deshi, the students who lived and trained with him as his disciples. This collection of memories—gathered here for the first time—captures the essence of this extraordinary martial arts master and visionary, revealing Ueshiba's teaching style, his daily habits, his philosophy of life, the lovably human aspects of his personality, and his deep belief that Aikido could be used as a means to creating peace and harmony in the world.The book also provides a snapshot of a fascinating time in Japanese history when a student would apprentice with his master by essentially moving in with him and receiving instruction through rigorous training sessions, and also by serving him and observing his actions in daily life. Most of the students whose remembrances are included in this book went on to spread the teaching of Aikido throughout the world and became masters in their own right.
