4.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful, September 7, 2005
This review is from: Children and the Martial Arts: An Aikido Point of View (Paperback)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish this was reprinted, June 5, 2009
This review is from: Children and the Martial Arts: An Aikido Point of View (Paperback)
Gaku Homma and his work on aikido and budo in general is a treasure, and this book is no exception. There is so much in this book for any person interested in Aikido, Japanese culture, or education. Homma-sensei uses personal history, principles, and experience to share so much of what aikido has to offer in modern times. I truly wish this book would be reprinted, and that Homma-sensei had an opportunity to finish this Structure of Aikido series of textbooks. Bottom line, if you are a teacher of any subject or a parent, regardless of whether or not you are interested in the martial arts, this book is a must read.

4.0 out of 5 stars una buena herramienta para ayudar al crecimiento de los niños, June 25, 2006
This review is from: Children and the Martial Arts: An Aikido Point of View (Paperback)
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....
