Morihei Ueshiba envisioned a style that could be both non-aggressive and still effective in a multitude of self-defense situations. From that vision came the art of aikido. As a student, you will be taught to respect the body of your opponent. The techniques should never cause permanent damage. The pain you inflict will be momentary. The aikido student is taught to search for eternal harmony. But this training has no end, for aikidoists believe perfection of character is never complete.

The Essence of Aikido
For years I have been reciting nearly daily, "Help me be so clear on who I am that I can generously afford to let other people be who they are, too. Help me to set aside my defensive behavior, and teach me to blend with other people and see their point of view while not relinquishing my own." Deciding to dig deeper into the meaning and practice of this idea led me to George Leonard's book.
I like and appreciate the notion of seeing situations from the point of view of others involved. That has helped me incorporate the consequent notion that everyone has their own reality.
And yet, it took me on and off reading for 15 weeks to get through the 194 pages. Perhaps because my interest was not Aikido, per se. Perhaps because, though published in 1999, Leonard himself was born in 1923 and therefore writing on a style not engaging to me. Or perhaps, just the last part: an unengaging style.
Glad to have read it. Glad to be done.
