Synopsis
Dust jacket notes: "Most of us know some basic aikido techniques - though we are probably unaware of it. We know, for instance, that a good way to control someone is to twist his arm up behind his back. We know that it is painful to have the base of the thumb pinched round toward the edge of the palm. The ancient Japanese martial art of aikido - which has been developed over centuries and handed down through samurai families from generation - is the study of arm-twists, body-throws, hand-holds and hundreds of other techniques, which enable the user to control even a bigger man with the minimum of effort. Dynamic Aikido - including nearly 500 photographs and diagrams - brings together the whole spectrum of theoretical and applied aikido in one handy-sized volume. Already the Japanese edition of the book is a huge success in Japan and is fast becoming the standard authority on the art in the dojos. Starting with a brief history, the book covers the philosophical background of aikido, basic movements, fundamental techniques and ends with a thorough account - complete with action pictures - of how aikido can be used in a dangerous situation such as an attack from behind while walking in a park, or a robbery attempt by a pickpocket. As a comprehensive text on the art, Dynamic Aikido is an essential companion to every beginner, a vital reference for all aikido students, as well as an excellent guide for all who want to learn for themselves some of the mysterious skills of one of the oldest Japanese martial arts."
