Title: An Aikido Odessey!
Review: Robert Twigger's book, Angry white pajamas, takes a close look at his time in Japan attending the intense one year Aikido course given by the IYAF (International Yoshinkan Aikido Federation). Even though the course is supposed to be for the benefit of the Tokyo Riot Police, they usually accept a few foreigners every year to take part and spread the art.From the get go you'll notice that is more a memoir than anything else. Mr. Twigger's writing goes from being a puny english teacher in a strange land, to a tough accomplished martial artist who knows about pain and patience.All in all a very funny, insightful read. I would recommend this to anybody interested in travel or the martial arts. I would in particular recommend this to anybody practicing Aikido, (I do Yoshinkan as well) because of the books focus on his training.
