5 out of 5 - July 9, 2002
I would recommend that any serious martial artist,
beginner or Dan grade, read this book. It is also explicitly
aimed at non-Martial Artists, and I can understand that someone
with not the slightest interest in the arts would also find
this book of immense interest and practical help.
Although Leonard Sensei speaks specifically
of the art of Aikido, the philosophy that he expounds goes
to the very heart of all martial arts. Do not be put off by
the word "Philosophy": this book is packed with
down to earth explanations, examples, and practical suggestions.
I found that it was impossible to put it down, and keep returning
to it. Like all great books, there is something more to be
learnt each time that you return.
I find it hard to believe that there is anyone
with an open mind who could fail to learn something from this
eminent teacher.
