Reviews: "The best Aikido terminology book I have ever seen."
- Shihan Carmen Pelusi - Eight Winds Aikido
"A helpful guide for anyone who wishes to truly grasp the meaning
of Aikido terminology."
- Steve Wade - long-time Aikido practitioner
Aikido Terminology is the most comprehensive Aikido terminology book
currently in existence. It includes a description of all fundamental
Aikido terms, the Japanese kanji characters as used in Aikido, their
meaning, a phonetic guide and cross-reference to a kanji guidebook
for those who wish to study their meaning further.
The body of text is conveniently broken down into the following
logical categories:stances, grasps, strikes, falls & rolls,
fundamental techniques,various Aikido actions, body parts, weapons,
Aiki-wear, ranks,special training and miscellaneous items.
Most importantly; all terms are quickly and conveniently referenced
by two complete indexes located at the end of the book. The result
is the most useful Aikido terminology book on the market. It is an
indispensable tool for all practitioners of Aikido. Enjoy.
Warm Regards,
Michael W Taylor
