Edition DescriptionNew Edition

SynopsisThe foremost authority on this popular martial art demonstrates the basic Aikido movements and explains the central philosophy of unity of mind and body., Aiki is the power of harmony, of all beings, all things working together. Aikido-a modern Japanese martial art unique in its synthesis of classic forms with a well-defined spiritual base-offers a key to the art of living naturally and unselfishly in a complicated world. This book explains it in reference to the founder's philosophy of mind-and action. In addition, the history of aikido's prewar development as a non-competitive new martial art is described, with a consideration of its international role.
