Aikido is the peaceful martial art. Its defense techniques should be so gentle that even the attacker is delighted. There's no competition, since each participant should be a winner. It's an art that lasts a lifetime, getting increasingly fascinating by each year.
This book presents the principles and fundamental concepts of aikido, deeply rooted in Eastern philosophy and the refined ideals of the samurai. It explores all the Japanese traditions and martial art essentials at work in aikido practice.
The first part of the book examines the aikido principles for how to find the peaceful solution, and how to enjoy aikido practice to the fullest. The second part explains the Japanese concepts used in aikido, such as do, the way, ki, life energy, tanden, the center, and many more. There is also a chapter about kototama, the spiritual cosmology that was essential to Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of aikido. The third part includes Osensei's Rules for Training, the Budo Charter, and an aikido glossary.
The book was previously published as Aikido: The Peaceful Martial Art.
Stefan Stenudd is a 6 dan Aikikai aikido instructor, Vice Chairman of the International Aikido Federation, member of the Swedish Aikikai Grading Committee and the Swedish Budo Federation Board, who has practiced aikido since 1972. He is also a writer of both fiction and non-fiction.

There are hundreds of aikido technical books on the market.It is my opinion that for any aikidoka searching for this material they need look no further than this book.
Obviously it's Yoshinkan material but a student from any discipline would benefit from the precise and exact explanations of the art presented in this book.
They deserve to be shelved alongside the Saito Sensei series on Traditional Aikido.5 volumes examine every aspect of Iwama style aikido including the weapons work.Though they seem to have gone out of print or are ridiculously expensive on E-Bay. Yet they can be easily downloaded online.
Though from different schools Shioda and Saito books are the premier technical manuals on this fascinating art.Both works stress exact precision and are suffused with the spirit of Shugyo,missing from more modern works.
