Aikido
Masters
Volume one - Aiki News |
|
There
is a huge amount of Aikido
books out on the market
all offering different
things to different people.
I always enjoy reading
books that have an historical
take and the stories and
thoughts of the old Shihan's
makes for great reading.
Aikido Masters is an awesome
book and for anyone remotely
interested in the historical
beginnings of Aikido and
the life of Morihei Ueshiba
should make this book
a must buy. At US$24.95
it is an absolute steal
and you will find yourself
going back to it time
after time.

You can always guarantee a quality read
when Stanley Pranin is involved and
in the book he brings together names
such as:
Noriaki
Inoue
Kenji Tomiki
Hisao Kamada
Hajime Iwata
Minoru Mochizuki
Shigemi Yonekawa
Rinjiro Shirata
Goza Shioda
Yoshio Sugino
Kiyoshi Nakakura
Takako Kunigoshi
Zenzaburo Akazawa
Tenryu
And Kisshomaru Ueshiba
The
stories they tell are great and it
really gives a clear picture of what
the training was like in the early
days at Hombu dojo and at Iwama.
