Inside the cover of Aikido in Training

Found by Ueshiba Morihei, also know as O'Sensei (Great Teacher), Aikido developed as a pure form of Budo (Martial Way), drawing upon aspects of many of the older disciplines of Japan.

Unique as a martial art, from its soft, circular, fluid movements to its direct concentrated applications, the techniques of Aikido are such that they can be applied against an attack form a large, stronger, and more aggressive opponent with great effectiveness.

O'Sensei believed deeply that martial arts should not be belligerent in nature. Instead his Aikido is known for its ethical and humanistic view and its concept of non-conflict.

Aikido in Training is an extensive reference of Traditional Aikido practice and principles containing 336 pages with over 1250 photographs depicting technique in a concise step by step manner. The text includes a full chapter on the life of O'Sensei Ueshiba Morihei and the history of the development of Aikido.
