"The book is presented in much the same way that our dojo
eventually ended up teaching our own beginners, and as such, is a
very good book for instructors to own. …the book will be most
useful for those who are, or want to practice since it's about 90
percent text and photos presenting technique. There is very little
in the way of any other writing for the idle browser. But as usual
in books like this, for the long time student of Aikido the good
stuff is in the introduction... and as usual I suspect most will
simply skip to the pictures. Do yourself a favor and go down to the
local bookstore, pick it up and read it. It's short, it's worth
it." —EJMAS
"It’s a very nice format, and brings the text closer to providing
the pointers one might actually receive in the dojo from the
instructor. … the book is an easy read, and there is a lot of
beneficial material, presented in an excellent format. This book
would make a good addition to any Aikido library, regardless of
your particular style." —AikiWeb
