With its rapid development in the postwar period, Aikido is now practiced by over a million-and-a-half people, men and women, young and old, in countries all over the world. The son and the grandson of the founder thought it time to compile a series of official course books that would establish guidelines for the proper practice of this martial art. The Aikido Master Course is the second volume in this series authorized by the Aikikai Foundation, the central organization set up by Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido. Variation is the theme of The Aikido Master Course, and there are probably more techniques shown here than in any previous Aikido textbook. All the techniques are based on a proper understanding of the principles taught in Best Aikido: The Fundamentals, the first volume of the series, but are applied in a broader manner against a variety of unarmed and armed attacks, and against more than one attacker. Also, many different kinds of pins are illustrated in both their omote and ura forms, thus facilitating the study of Aikido techniques in a wide-ranging and varied manner. The Aikido Master Course helps guide the practitioner through the underlying techniques and spiritual principles of Aikido. It offers step-by-step instruction that will complement knowledge learned in the dojo. This essential instructional guide is illustrated with a wealth of photographs never seen before that feature the author demonstrating all the techniques described in the book.
