Aikido is the "Art of Peace", a discipline that emphasizes harmony
and the peaceful resolution of conflict, practiced by over a
hundred thousand Westerners. Far more than a self-defense
technique, Aikido is a physical and spiritual discipline that aims
at unifying the body and spirit with the natural forces of the
universe, fostering compassion, wisdom, and fearlessness. This book
serves as an accessible introduction to the basic principles and
practices of this popular martial art. The topics covered include
the biography of the Founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969)
- perhaps history's greatest warrior - highlighting the key events
that led to the development of Aikido; the fundamental training
methods and techniques, illustrated by dozens of photographs; the
philosophical and spiritual dimensions; the distinctive styles of
the principal schools; a glossary of words commonly encountered;
and suggestions for further reading.
