This was our Aikido textbook for more than 10 years

I trained Tomiki Aikido (now known as Shodokan Aikido)in Sydney, Australia, for almost 14 years; and *this* was the book we all took home as our reference. It covers the basic exercises, balance-breakers, breakfalls and the 17 basic techniques of Tomiki-style Aikido (the Junanahon No Kata). The defences are all learned from an attack with a fist, a (rubber) knife or a grab to the wrist. These techniques cover what you need to know up to 2nd Kyu (Blue Belt) and will be all you need for the first few years at least. The book was written by Dr Lee Ah Loi, who is now... a 7th Dan Black Belt (JAA), and I believe the highest-ranking female in Tomiki Aikido anywhere in the world. She has a dojo in England..
