The History and Philosophy of Aikido: You Will Never See Aikido in the Same Way! - Paperback

by A. M. Williamson (Translator), Olivier Gaurin (Author)

Olivier Gaurin is a well-known French Aikido-ka, but also well-known in Japan, since he lives for more than thirty years in Tokyo. Olivier is a practitioner at the Aikikai, but also he is practicing long date of Dait -Ry . His long experience of tatami mats and his constant research, for decades, can allow him to commit this work. In fact, he reveals in this summary but dense text a large part of the ignored history of Aikido, and the associated philosophy that derives from it. After reading this book, never again will you see Aikido, this prodigious martial art in the fundamental sense of the word, in the same way.
