AÏKIDO and Harmony of Nature (en anglais)

Whoever looks in this book for techniques on the movements of aikido will be disappointed because this book only addresses the principles that underlie this martial art. Mitsugi Saotome, one of the greatest Japanese masters of our time, gives us his personal vision of aikido as he developed it during the fifteen years spent with the Founder. He thus hopes to allow the reader to penetrate the universe of his master through the great principles of aikido. Universe, truth, balance, justice, evolution, harmony and nature are the subjects that are closest to his heart and that he develops generously throughout these pages. Illustrated with nearly 500 photos, this book is one of the pillars of Japanese aikido.
