Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Pretty good, covers quite a bit.
I ordered this book right before my 5th kyu test and found it a rather helpful resource when reviewing the techniques. I did have a couple of problems with the book:

1. Many of the illustrations, although generally good, skip some of the important steps of the technique. For example, the illustration for some of the rolls skip the crucial point where the aikidoka is actually rolling on his back.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Easy Reading
I joined my two teenage sons couple of months ago in Aikido and find it fasinating. Being a beginner to the art, the book has provided a good insight into the technique. We read it again and again and you will certainly find this a useful guide for beginner.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very Useful as a Refresher Text
This is a fantastic book to supplement your class learning. Author John Lichen has taken care to minimize the wear of hakamas in the illustrations and this really makes it easier to study the positioning and movement of the feet in the techniques described. This book is one of the better technique manuals out there and would be of interest to more than the Aikido student. If you study classical jiu-jitsu or hapkido/kuk sool/hwa-rang-do, you'll find value as well.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A very nice approach...
This book is designed as a textbook for PhysEd students. It is laid out in a very logical fashion, and discusses core principles and basic techniques in considerable detail. A brief history on the development of Aikido is also included. The book is profusely illustrated with line drawings.
