Complete Aikido: Aikido Kyohan: The Definitive Guide to the Way of Harmony (Complete Martial Arts) Paperback – March 28, 2017

I just finished reading most of the reviews and I was surprised by the respect for Sensei Suenaka that was expressed.This book came about through love for Aikido and Sensei Suenaka. Something that most of the reviewers did not know is that, we (yes, myself included) donated our time, services and talents to help Sensei Suenaka obtain his dream of completing this book. This book was something he was very passionate about and felt needed to be written. During the whole process he kept telling us "this book is going to be different" and he was right.I just purchased additional copies of his book to have when my children get older. I want them to know about the history, spirituality and the self-defense that Aikido has to offer.I am now on the West Coast and unable to attend classes, but I will never forget the journey that his Atlanta school provided. I am hoping to savor it a moment longer through his book.

Christopher Watson creates a wonderful storyline of Suenaka Sensei's life. Anyone interested in the history of aikido and possibly one of the best martial artists alive should read this book. It is beautifully written and will capture your interest with every juicy story.

All good

having been in aikido years ago and just now getting back into martial arts, was not what i expected, more on exercises that the art itself.

An excellent source for reliable, authentic information.

I worked with Sensei Suenaka on Okinawa many years ago so I was very interested in reading his book. Excellent blend of his life experiences, philosophies, and of coarse Aikido.

This is an excellent book of the practice and teaching of Aikido in Okinawa. He was the only person that was able to introduce this art to Okinawa and be able to withstand the challenges to his teaching their.

Great read!

Writing style is easy to read. Would have liked more photos in the technique section.
