Written by the late Aikido Doshu master Kisshmaru Ueshiba, The Art Of Aikido: Principles And Essential Techniques is an ideal introduction and a superbly presented instruction guide to the martial art of Aikido. Written by the son of Aikido's founder, who translated the concepts of Aikido that his father presented in an esoteric language and simplified the philosophy and practices so that any trainee could engage in this martial art, The Art Of Aikido combines solid instructional text with black-and-white photographs illustrating movements and combinations step by step. A core, seminal reference and a "must-have" for any student or practitioner of Aikido.
