Media Reviews

"Aikido Basics is organized and visually formatted to make it an easy to scan instructional book. How to pick the right class for you, how to behave, the etiquette, culture and every little nook and cranny are covered so you can walk into an Aikido club and have a solid understanding of what is expected of a school and the beginner. If you are looking to start Aikido or are a couple of belts deep (maybe earlier than blue or brown) than this book is in your zone." - Wade McMaster, Martial Arts & Action Movies
"The authors have masterfully blended learning with understanding and wisdom to form a book which is both compelling and insightful. If you are looking to learn martial arts, or are even just interested in finding out more about them, I can wholeheartedly recommend this book." -American Preppers Online
