'On the Back' of Aikido A Beginner's Guide

"I wish to congratulate the author on the compiling of this beginner's guide and I'm sure it will be of great benefit to newcomers to our art." - H.W. Foster 7th dan IA, Technical Director, Institute of Aikido

"Aikido - A Beginner's Guide fills an important gap in providing a clear overview of the principles and techniques of Aikido in one volume. Amongst the multitude of Aikido books now available it stands out for it unbiased and easily understood approach, presented via exceptionally good photos and layout" - David Lynch, 6th Dan Aikido Lynch Dojo NZ Contributing Editor "Aikido Journal"

"..A useful nook with beginners in mind. I particularly like the explanation of Ukemi & Atemi" K. Cottier, Shihan, 6th dan So Hombu

"The Aikido beginner will find this book very informative in all aspects of the art" - W. Smith, Shihan, 6th dan So Hombu

"I was very impressed with the amount of work and research that has gone into this book. For someone starting out Aikido it's invaluable, with clearly laid out information on the hisotry, terminology and the weapons we use, and why we use them. One of my dream's is to see a national syllabus, regardless of Association; a minimum standard set of techniques for everyone, with each individual association adding to this as they see fit. This book could be instrumental in helping bring this about. I would certainly recommend this book to all my students." - T.Moss, 6th Dan, Technical Director Yama Arashi UK
