Aikido

By David Klimchuk

Aikido is a Japanese art of self-defense. Practitioners use locks, holds, and the principle of nonresistance to turn an opponent's own momentum against them. Created by Morihei Ueshiba in the 1920s, aikido focuses less on perfecting steps and skills and more on improving character according to the rules of nature. With this book, readers will learn about the history and progression of aikido, its basic moves, and how it can help people of all ages and backgrounds train their mind and body.
