Dynamic Aikido

This book is written for the student who has already been physically introduced to the basic aspects, and later advanced concepts of the art of Aikido, with full pictures and descriptions of each technique with it's proper application (also an educational guide for the student to learn the proper Japanese names for each move.) The book for any serious Martial Arts athlete who spends the time painstakingly physically studying the art of Aikido at the dojo with other students. I currently study both Small Circle Jujitsu from the late Wally Jay and his associate Dave Castoldi of Boston, and when I have the time I also study the remarkable Martial Art of Aikido. In my past I had intensely trained in both Karate, Kendo fencing, and Kung Fu. Prof. Shioda's book is a classic and needs to be added to any student of Aikido's library for better practice of the art. Five stars and A+

This is an excellent pictorial guide for the serious Aikidoka. The explanations and the pictures are great. Shioda Sensei explains his personal approach to Aikido, and it shows that he is a true master, I highly recommend this book.

My husband has been a student of Aikido for 21 years. He studies under Carmen Pelusi Shihan of Eight Winds Aikido Society. He loves anything Aikido.

wife loved it.

good book good price

This book is very informative and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for the basics in aikido.

My husband is currently taking Aikido, and his Sensei recommended this book. I ordered it and it came pronto. My husband is very happy with it.

Good

Covering Yoshinkan Aikido by the founder, Gozo Shioda, I purchased it however because of the quality of photographs to help me with the basics of 'regular' Aikido for the beginner and it didn't disappoint. Covers history and fundamentals in a clear style. I think I will be referring to this book for a long time because it offers really clear direction and instruction. Great accompaniment to class.

the first book I bought on Aikido 20 years ago! a small handy book; good for beginners on the history, background and the fundamental concepts. Useful even if you are not a student of the Yoshinkan "style" of Aikido. recommended.

good book great service

One of the best books on Aikido, ever written

informative book
