In this remarkable interpretation of the foundation of Aikido technique, Gaku Homma focuses on the relationship between Japanese swordsmanship and open-hand movement, uniting historical tradition with the contemporary development of the art of Aikido. Although the study of Kenjutsu and Aikido have long been associated, this is the first book in which actual Aikido techniques are related to sequences used with the sword. Sixteen hundred frame-by-frame photos mirror the movement shared by both arts.

Revue de presse
"As a martial arts teacher, I am very impressed with the clarity and reach of this book. Gaku Homma Sensei illuminates each technique in three contexts, showing us its nuance and value in different fighting situations. Any martial artist, no matter what style he or she practices, will be captivated by the originality of his approach and the practicality of his teaching."

Great book for advanced aikidoka
2 octobre 1998
Par Un client

Format:Broché
This is a very good volume of work that helps the aikido student learn how empty-hand techniques such as shiho-nage, irmi-nage and the 5 control holds all evolved from swordsmanship techniques. Anything that aids a student in realizing the purposes behind a technique can give him or her a better grasp of how to apply it in the dojo. Philosophically, this volume also aids the aikido student in realizing the peaceful intent of aikido. Looking at some of the photo series depicting sword vs. sword conflict, you get a real grasp of the fact that Ueshiba Morihei took violent, blood-spilling killing techniques and modified them into non-violent, peaceful restraining techniques that inflict no injury. In Aikido, sword techniques that were designed to disembowel opponents have been modified to allow a diligent student to overcome a violent attack with a minimum of force or effort. Gaku Homma has done aikido enthusiasts all over the world a great service with this book. I eagerly look forward to his next book, in which he promises to do for the jo, or short staff, what he has done for the wooden sword in this book.

Provides a Firm Understanding of O-Sensei's Art
7 avril 1998

I'm sure their are plenty of Aikideshi like myself who wish our instruction included a higher ratio of weapons practice. This book is an excellent stimulus for exploration into the roots of Aikido through Kenjutsu. Countless sword techniques are explained step by step, with photos; then the hand-to-hand derivation is outlined right next to it, also with photos. Being in my second year of Aikido, through this book I learned that my weapons training isn't some outdated tradition (who fights with a sword?). In fact, our martial philosophy and hand-to-hand techniques are honed by the understanding/practice of Aikiken and Aikijo.

Fantastic for all martial artists

I am a Jujutsuka and I would highly recommend this book to any martial artist. It breaks the techniques down into concepts and principals and warns against using "cookie cutter" techniques in self defense. This is good logic, and good martial arts.
This is the kind of book one could ready many times and get something different from it every time. I also thought the translation was great - would heve been nice if ALL terms were defined in the text as well.
