Download or read book The Art of Peace written by Morihei Ueshiba and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspirational teachings in this collection show that the real way of the warrior is based on compassion, wisdom, fearlessness, and love of nature. The teachings are drawn from the talks and writings of Morihei Ueshiba, founder of the popular Japanese martial art of Aikido, a mind-body discipline he called the "Art of Peace," which offers a nonviolent way to victory in the face of conflict. Ueshiba believed that Aikido principles could be applied to all the challenges we face in life—in personal and business relationships, and in our interactions with society. This is an expanded version of the original miniature edition that appeared in the Shambhala Pocket Classics series. It features a new introduction by John Stevens, recently translated doka, didactic "poems of the Way," and Ueshiba's own calligraphy.
Download or read book Principle of Aiki and Its Application in Aikido and Aikijujutsu written by Alun James Harris and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-02 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aiki, the unbalancing element of the martial arts of Aikido and Aikijujutsu, is the least understood aspect of these arts. Generally, descriptions of Aiki vary from the mystical to vague concepts like blending with the attacker's energy. This book gives a meaningful and practical bio-mechanical definition of Aiki. This description of Aiki clearly differentiates it from the unbalancing methods used in the associated martial arts of Judo, Jujutsu and Wrestling. Using this definition, Aiki can be applied in three fundamental forms. For each form, a detailed description of how Aiki is applied is given and is supplemented with demonstrations, so that the reader can experience the unbalancing effect of Aiki. Examples are described in detail, showing how each form of Aiki is applied in the techniques of Aikido and Aikijujutsu. The explanation of Aiki given here unifies the arts of Aikido and Aikijujutsu. Throughout the book, the ideas discussed are supported with illustrated diagrams. The Principle of Aiki described in this book has been used to analyse the unbalancing element of Aikido and Aikijujutsu techniques recorded on Youtube by well known Aikido and Aikijujutsu Sensei. This supporting material is available on the author's website aiki.simdif.com.
