Product Description:
Conflict is an unavoidable aspect of living. The principles of aikido are uniquely suited to everyday conflict resolution because it is a martial art based on avoiding attack. Its nondefensive, prosocial stance offers new options for dealing with conflict and can help break habits such as bullying and intimidation.

Because of its non-aggressive approach to conflict resolution, Aikido's techniques are often viewed as physical metaphors for side-stepping the stress and strain of daily life in the office, behind the wheel and at home.
This is perhaps the finest bridge out there in transforming "an equilibrium of mind and body" into a way of life.
I'd highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the martial arts, and all those who aren't.

I actually used these techniques on one occasion while in my fourth year of college. I unfortunately allowed my second roommate to allow a third roommate to live with us who was a freshman.

The headlines in today's news make the practice of the art of aikido--especially the psychological type of aikido--an idea whose time has finally come. And it's so great to see that this book is still around and available through Amazon.
I read it, re-read it and initially used the first edition 15 years ago until the cover was torn and the pages were dog-eared and smudged. It was an invaluable personal resource: one of those splendid gems that "fell off the shelf" and into my hands ... Read More

On the mat, we learn the techniques of Aikido - the ways to move, the joint locks, the pins - but this book is about the spirit of Aiki. Knowing how to blend with your attacker when they come at you, thrusting the jagged edge of a broken beer bottle is good to know. Knowing how to blend with someone BEFORE they break the beer bottle and come after your throat is better to know.
This book is true to the goal of all Aikidoka; no matter what is coming at you, no matter how fierce the attack, ... Read More

Authored by Terry Dobson, one of the earliest Occidentals to study Aikido in Japan under the Founder, and a self-described "oddball", this book is somewhat crytic in its approach, and one might possibly have to understand a lot more about the author to really get their head around this one. One man's trash, another man's treasure...
