by: Adele Westbrook, Oscar Ratti
Having a long-time interest in martial arts, I remember seeing this title advertised in magazines years ago and decided to finally purchase a copy. It is well written and gives the reader a fine introduction to Aikido. Highly recommended.

Total Aikido: The Master Course (Bushido--The Way of the Warrior)

by: Gozo Shioda
Uno de los mejores libros de artes marciales que tengo.

Es tal vez el libro que todo principiante del aikido debería tener como guía de referencia, ya que explica cómo se producen errores más comunes que solemos cometer en las técnicas básicas como ikkio, nikio, sankio, yonkio, cómo agarrar bien al compañero (uke o tori)...

Incluye también algunas aplicaciones interesantes a la defensa personal (goshin waza).

Buena edición la versión en inglés, con tapa dura.

Aikido Exercises for Teaching and Training: Revised Edition

by: C.M. Shifflett
One of the more useful and humble features of this book is its concordance. Every Aikido technique discussed in Shifflett's book has a cross reference to discussions of the same technique in other well known Aikido texts. This makes it easy for the beginner to rely on Shifflett's book as their starting piont. Then, using their guide, refer to other books for different perspectives on that same technique. On the merits of this feature alone, I would recommend this book.

I generally found that I could go from class to this book, and understand the author's treatment.

Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train." Aikido is the most non-competitive of the martial arts. There is an amusing saying among some martial artists. "How do you beat an Aikido expert? Answer: Don't attack him.
