Aikido: The Way of Harmony
Is a very good book, 4 out of 5 stars, I wish they had color photographs though that would raise the price of the book significantly. That is the only reason I am giving it 4 stars.
Aikido is a gentle art, it is what I normally recommend to people asking about a martial art for self defense. Though I really don't like the term "martial art" specially as applied to Aikido, the name can actually be translate "the Way of harmonious spirit."
This book provides clear explanation of many of the techniques of Aikido. Provides a clear view of what the art encompasses to anyone interested.
Highly recommend to anyone curious about Aikido, or anyone trying to decide on which martial art to study.
