Title: Go to class, do NOT read this book
Product review: I concur w/ Alan Roberts of NZ. I looked over this volume in a bookstore. Although only 1st dan under Toyoda Sensei, I know enough to recognize poor quality, self-aggrandizement (10th dan, please) and a disservice to a wonderful, dynamic and compassionate art. If you want to learn aikido, go to a proper dojo, with a properly certified instructor and do it right, don't just read about it and feel you have learned the art. After all, mind AND body go together. If you simply must have a technical manual, "Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere" is a much, much better choice.
