Title: A terrible book that completely misrepresents aikido.
Product review: The founder of aikido said, "The true secret of aikido is to cultivate a spirit of loving protection for all things." This book shows none of this and is merely a manual for those who wish to learn how to break arms and apply painful locks. If it was a book on jiu-jitsu or some such art where these were the aims then it would be acceptable enough. It is, however, very unfortunate that the authors have sought to misrepresent this macho rubbish as aikido.
