A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In Aikido: The Complete Basic Techniques, Gozo Shioda, renowned master and teacher as well as the top student of modern Aikido’s founder, offers lucid and detailed explanations of all of the most important basic Aikido techniques. He demonstrates how the Basic Exercises that form the core teachings of Aikdo will help the practitioner develop physical focus, and will teach him how to harness that focus for wider practical applications.
The book deals primarily with the Basic Throws that one learns in the early stages of Aikido practice and is based on a revised edition of an earlier Japanese textbook that has never before been for sale to the public. This updated English version includes a wealth of rare photographs of the author demonstrating the techniques, as well as a new section on Practical Application. A new Foreword has been written by the author’s son, Yasuhisa Shioda, in which he discusses the universality of Aikido and its emphasis on defense over attack, which enables anyone, regardless of age, to practice it. This is one of Aikido’s most appealing aspects, and it is the wish of both the author and his son that readers will find Aikido: The Complete Basic Techniques to be an invaluable study guide and source of inspiration.

Présentation de l'éditeur

In Aikido, Shioda demonstrates how the Basic Exercises that comprise the core teaching in Aikido will develop physical focus and teach the practitioner how to harness that focus for wider practical applications. This book primarily deals with the Basic Throws that form the early stages of Aikido practice and is a revised edition of a previous textbook that was not for sale to the public. This updated version includes a wealth of rare photographs of the author demonstrating the techniques, as well as a new section on Practical Application. This book should serve as a testament to the universality of Aikido, a martial art which, partly down to its emphasis of defense over attack, can be practiced by anyone, regardless of age. Practitioners will find this book an invaluable study resource, and discover that through Aikido practice they will foster a continual desire to improve themselves. As it includes almost all of the most important basic throws, it is valuable both as a study aid to practice and as a collection of reference material.
