Description
Aikido in America is made from first person narratives from various senior American Aikido practitioners. These are in-depth interviews which the themes have participated in rewriting, and so they give the broad scope of aikido. These interviews with two generations of American martial artists describe how aikido translated from Japan into an American art–integrating a few Amercan values, yet remaining an essentially Japanese cultural tradition.
The book is as much a history of Aikido in the US as This is a philosophical treatise that may be tongue-in-cheek at appropriate junctures. This is a nice contrast to the technical manuals in the market, and it will have to appeal to the seasoned practitioner and beginner alike.
