Title: A good history book .... and that's all I can say
Review: The "Samurai Aikijutsu" is really a good book. A detailed history of Daito Ryu Aikijutsu,Takeda Ryu Aikijutsu,Aikido Aikikai and Yoshinkan Aikido is given . The techniques are well described , but don't expect to learn all techniques after you read the book!!!I was a little dissapointed: good pictures, good introduction ,good history of Aikijutsu (if you search on the Net you will find good sites about this subject)....BUT techniques don't show anything new for an "old" student of martial arts in Daito Ryu Aikijutsu or Takeda Ryu Aikijutsu.About 16 maybe 17 techniques are well described in image but more less in words - all those are taught in Yoshinkan Aikido,Aikido Aikikai and Aikijutsu.In fact you can't learn anything from pictures ... You must practice in dojo first and after a several years of practice you will see if this book is for you or not.
