Bruce Tegner's Complete book of aikido and holds & locks Description

TWO WAYS of practicing the fascinating ju-jitsu holds and locks.: • one modern and practical, one classical and ceremonial.
HOLD AND LOCKS for modern use brings the ancient techniques up to date. Most efficient holds and locks and the best uses of them are fully explained in language you can understand.
AIKIDO is the most beautiful of the ritual weaponless fighting arts. It is wonderful exercise and it is intriguingly exotic. Aikido is as active as tumbling and as elegant and dramatic as fencing.

What is the difference between judo, karate and aikido? This is the question most frequently asked about the Oriental weaponless fighting skills.
The chief difference is this: In judo, the principal techniques are throws; in karate, the principal techniques are hand and foot blows; in aikido, stylized holds and locks are the principal tech-niques.
The next question which inevitably follows is: Which is best? This question cannot be answered without asking another question:
Best for what purpose? Do you mean to ask which is best for self-defense? Or do you mean to ask which is best for recreation, sport and exercise?
If your question is: Which is best for self-defense?, my answer is
—a combination of techniques from all the fighting specialties, choosing those which are simple and effective and which can be learned by anyone in a relatively short period of time.
If your question is: Which is best for recreation or pastime, the answer is that which you find most enjoyable, interesting or available.
