5.0 out of 5 stars A enjoyable book detailing the purpose of Aikido, April 22, 1997
By A Customer
I read this book on a train journey from Amsterdam to Brussels and I found it to be a delightful companion. The essence of the book is that Aikido is a Way of life (not just a philosophical way) and that Aikido is more than just a martial art or throwing people about. It is a easy book to read, and I must say that the drawings are the most noticeable and endearing aspect of this authors books. Simply, it is to be enjoyed and read again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple book about Aikido in life., February 21, 1999
Learn about the simplicities and principles behind aikido...

One may imagine learning more about Aikido in this book than other bigger tomes about this exotic japanese martial art.

Great book for the beginning martial artist who chooses to study aikido.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Aikido is grace in motion. . . great book!, July 3, 1998
By A Customer
This is a must read for those of who have been looking for a fresh approach to the martial arts. I first read the book and then had the luck to enroll in Gaku Homma's school. Aikido is something you can really approach with a beginner's mind and learn lessons for life.
