Review: The Best Attempt Ever to Document Aikido Techniques - This book represents the best attempt at documenting Aikido techniques and physical exercises short of training. I got my copy after reading An Open Secret: A Student's Handbook for Learning Aikido Techniques of...
Review: An excellent martial arts book... - I think this is the best book explaining a specific martial art that I've come across. Why is it exceptional? Several reasons. First, the authors are unusually articulate, and at times almost scholarly. Second, the book addresses both the philosophy of aikido (its tenets, values, and meditative characteristics), as well as the technique of aikido (its movements and defensive tactics), and it explains the link between the philosophy and technique in an especially coherent way. Third, the book delves into details of aikido technique using an extensive set of figural drawings and diagrams, which are easier to understand than a series of photographs would be. Fourth, the book also provides brief background regarding the institutional side of aikido: i.e., how is the art typically taught, what does does a dojo look like, what is the etiquette of a typical class, how does ranking work, etc. There's an almost anthropological quality to some of the material in this book -- again, quite scholarly. About the only aspect of aikido background that it doesn't cover in much detail is the history of the art, or of its founder, Morihei Uyeshiba. Notably, the book acknowledges up front that it provides only a limited introduction to the techniques (at ~370 pages): given its intent as an aikido handbook, rather than an aikido encyclopedia, I don't see that as a flaw. By contrast, there are many other martial arts books that basically consist of lists of techniques, with illustrative photographs that are very difficult for a non-practitioner to follow. Such books are often poorly written or poorly translated, and don't really convey the essence of what a particular martial art is, with regard to technique, philosophy, or pedagogy. This book stands out because it does convey that essence, and because the style of the writing itself actually *feels* a bit like aikido. If you are interested in either aikido or martial arts generally, this book is worth picking up. You won't be disappointed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Aikido Book
*by K***U on January 3, 2025*

This is one of the best books for Aikido practitioners, offering a comprehensive guide with detailed insights for mastering Aikido techniques. It has greatly influenced the Aikido community and is often referenced, though sometimes used without permission, for group or dojo logos. The copy I have is the eleventh printing, and despite being from 1974, the binding and pages remain intact—though the pages have a slight yellowish tint, as expected for its age. It’s a rare find and one of my best purchases.
