Aikido in Everyday Life Description

Conflict is an unavoidable aspect of living. The late renowned aikido master Terry Dobson, together with Victor Miller, present aikido as a basis for conflict resolution. "Attack-tics" is a system of conflict resolution based on the principles of aikido, the non-violent martial art Morihei Ueshiba created after World War II. Not all conflicts are contests, say Dobson and Miller, and not all conflicts are equally threatening.

Terry Dobson studied in Japan for ten years with the founder of aikido, Morihei Ueshiba. Before his death in late 1992, he had taught aikido for twenty-five years and brought its principles to conflict management and personal growth seminars in education, mediation and business.

Victor Miller is a television and film writer living in Milford, Connecticut. He wrote the original script for Friday the 13th and writes for television daytime drama series.

'On the Back' of Aikido in Everyday Life

"Attack-tics" is a system of conflict resolution based on the principles of aikido, the non-violent martial art Morihei Ueshiba created after World War II. Like may other Aikido practitioners, Dobson and Miller wanted to bring the Aiki Way to people in everyday life. "Attack-tics" maps conflict scenarios we all encounter, showing how "attack-mode" is not the only way to deal with conflict.

Not all conflicts are contests, say Dobson and Miller, and not all conflicts are equally threatening. Finding more options to deal with conflict can change how we deal with other people. We can become ourselves a "tool for reconciliation."

"...a convincing and useful set of metaphors for understanding the geometry of conflict...studded with radical, sensible ideas." - Marilyn Ferguson, author of The Aquarium Conspiracy

"Giving in to get your way has been catalytic and seminal to my thinking regarding the direct application of Aikido to daily conflicts. Terry Dobson's work has been a forerunner to many of us in expanding Aiki into spheres beyond the martial arts." - Tom Crum, author of The Magic of Conflict

"The Aikido studnt and master Terry Dobson...has taught so many of us the goodness possible inside the warrior." - Robert Bly, Iron John
