الاسطوانة التعليمية للايكيدو من حفيد موهي يوشا

Aikido teaches a simple secret: the
development of a better life is dependent on bettering yourself. Aikido
offers no miracles except the miracle of your own existence and your
human potential. Remember that you are a part of the universe. To ruin
your life or waste it is to ruin a piece of the universe. With your
birth you hold the key that opens the door to heaven. The most important
duty in each person's life is to use that key and to make his or her
life a manifestation of the heaven that it lies within our power to
create." Mitsugi Saotome
Mitsugi Saotome - a principal student of
Morihei Ueshiba, the Founder of Aikido - explains the philosophy and
practice of the popular martial art, which emphasizes harmony and
peaceful resolution of conflict. Over one thousand black and white
photographs illustrate the basic principles and techniques, including
the use of the wooden sword, the wooden staff, and "empty hand"
techniques. The reader is given guidance in the proper physical, mental,
and spiritual attitudes with which to approach this practice and in
ways to apply the wisdom of Aikido to everyday life. Also included are
lectures by the Founder
