Aikido is the peaceful martial art. There are no attacks in
aikido, only defense, and this defense should be so gentle that
even the attacker is delighted by it. It is an art that takes a
lifetime to learn, and it gets increasingly fascinating by each
year. This book presents the principles and fundamental concepts of
aikido - deeply rooted in Eastern philosophy and the refined ideals
of the samurai.
The first part of the book examines the aikido principles of how
to find the peaceful solution, and how to enjoy aikido practice to
the fullest. The second part explains the Japanese concepts used in
aikido, such as ki, life energy, tanden, the center, and many more.
There is also a chapter about kototama, the spiritual cosmology
that was central to the founder of aikido. The third part includes
an aikido glossary.
