A very well laid out and objective book...

This book does a very good job of explaining its title subject... basic Aikido. There are no politics or style-specific posturings here; only solid basic information in an easy-to-read format. Look also for two recently released titles by the same authors: "Advanced Aikido" and "Aikido Weapons Techniques".

The best basics book Ive read.........

This is a clear, very well written and thorough "basics" book. What I was looking for was a book that clearly explained basic concepts I could pass on to children and beginning adults. What I found was an enjoable book that not only helps me teach but refreshes my memory on concepts I have learned from many sources over many years. One clear source for those concepts we never out grow or over practice.
