on natural movements and the unity of mind and body, which combine

throw them by utilizing the power of their own energy.The practice
of aikido is associated with many physical and spiritual benefits;
as well as controlling an opponent, it is an excellent way to
develop strength, suppleness, stamina and mental and emotional
harmony. This clearly presented and accessible book is a fully
illustrated guide to the development, philosophy and techniques of
an extraordinary art. With over 500 photographs, together with
comprehensive text from one of the most respected teachers working
