This book presents Aikido as a theory of movement based on a fundamental principle encoded in its name: the way of harmonising energy flows. A deductive reasoning approach is applied to derive the method to solve dynamic conflicts, and its link to physics is developed. This enables the establishment of objective criteria to assess the quality of the Aikido movements. The relationship to the Japanese sword -the katana- is investigated in detail. This allows the introduction of the Aikido-script. In this way, an Aikido technique can be written as the combination of a series of basic katana movements, which are interconnected through the dynamic centre's smooth flow path.

Our New Second Edition is now in Full Color!! 75 Defenses against kicks, punches, garbs and holds!! This book was designed to give the beginner and black belt level martial artist a quick easy reference manual of how to deal with a large variation of different types of attacks that one may encounter in sparring or in a street situation. Most students when first beginning in a martial arts program are more interested in the actual defensive techniques than in kata (forms/patterns). Kata and/or traditional drills are usually based more on discipline rather than actual combat realism or knowledge. In much of the Kata practice today the students and even master level black belts don't even know what all the moves actually represent.

Будучи преимущественно рационалистами, многие прекрасно понимают, что даже систематические занятия в школе каратэ или айкидо дадут ощутимый желаемый результат в лучшем случае лишь в отдаленной на годы перспективе. Между тем личная безопасность, умение хоть как-то постоять за себя в возможной кризисной ситуации нужны нам, чаще всего, прямо сейчас, сегодня, в крайнем случае - завтра.
