I've been practising aikido for more than 30 years and I was immediately struck by this book.
Heinz Fikar, Aikido teacher, Tettnang
Livable, inspiring and well-founded, even for people without any aikido experience.
Ingrid Wiltschek, Yoga School Tübingen
There can probably be no better companion for one's day-to-day training with background and depth.
Marietta Winkler von Mohrenfels
A unique book to meditate on a unique martial art.
Sebastian Kreth
I'd like to commend this book to everyone who wants to do more than just defend themselves with techniques.
Uwe Schulte
According to the understanding of aikido imparted here, the actual goal is not acquiring a particularly perfect, efficient or spectacular technique but developing a personal attitude--physical, spiritual and mental--within the meaning of aikido.
Rainer Becker
I regard this book as a valuable reminder of the essence of budo.
Christoph Müller-Stosch
The book is perfectly structured, demonstrates central ideas, expands on them and leads you back to the starting point from where, in turn, creative, active progress is made possible.
Frank Baßfeld, Böblingen
The work hits the mark and I highly recommend it.
Volker Görlich, Aikido teacher, Rietberg
With meticulous attention to detail, which also becomes evident in the almost poetic language in most parts of the book, the two authors make suggestions for nearly all aspects of Aikido that could crop up during practice sessions.
Yan-Christoph Pelz
I've never read such a precise representation that describes what you feel in side when you practice this movement meditation.
