Description

Aikido practice provides a wonderfully wealthy framework for personal exploration and development. Alternatively, for the beginner it involves a steep learning curve that may seem insurmountable. First there’s the strict etiquette to observe, then there’s the Aikido taxonomy in Japanese to be told, methods to tie your obi (belt) as it should be, how to take a seat, methods to bow, methods to fall down, methods to rise up, methods to attack… the list is never ending, and complex Aikido techniques have not yet been even mentioned. So it isn’t surprising that many beginners don’t last beyond the first few weeks. Hence this book of essential information to make the transition from raw beginner to competent practitioner rather less daunting. The whole lot that a beginner needs to know is contained in this book, explained and illustrated. But for experienced practitioners and instructors Parts 3 and 4, which cover tai sabaki (body movement) and waza (techniques) it also details a rational, systematic method for learning and teaching basic Aikido forms.
