Aikido Exercises for Teaching and Training: Revised Edition

by: C.M. Shifflett
C.M. Shifflett's "Aikido for Teaching and Training," is a thoughfully crafted handbook that should benefit any Aikido practicioner. I myself am primarily a Shaolin Kung Fu stylist, however, I was honored to have studied with Shihan Paul Silvaine of Valley Aikido in Northhampton Massachusetts between 1985 and 1989. The Aikido that he taught me was inspiring to say the least, and its circular nature blends perfectly with both Kung Fu and Tai Chi methodology. This book has helped me to rekindle his teachings, and allowed me to resume practice in Aikido.

I just got this little gem-of-a-book in the mail a few days ago from Amazon. This book is loaded with amazing aphorisms which I put on the same level or higher than "A Joseph Campbell Companion."

Total Aikido: The Master Course

by: Gozo Shioda
Though I never held any rank in Aikido, I have rank in several related martial arts and studied numerous other combat arts.(Jujitsu, Judo, Kendo, Kenjutsu, Krav Maga, Aikijutsu, Combatives, Karate). I only took up Aikido for a short time but I have always respected the art for its many beautiful and practical techniques. In fact, as a law enforcement trainer several of the techniques I teach came originally from Aikido or Aikijutsu. This book is clearly one of the best books on Aikido I have ever read.
