    About The Spirit of Aikido

    Aiki is the power of harmony, of all beings, all things working together.

    Aikido—a modern Japanese martial art unique in its synthesis of classic forms with a well-defined spiritual base—offers a key to the art of living naturally and unselfishly in a complicated world. This book explains it in reference to the founder’s philosophy of mind—and action. In addition, the history of aikido’s prewar development as a non-competitive new martial art is described, with a consideration of its international role.

    About The Spirit of Aikido

    Long available in paperback, The Spirit of Aikido will now be published in a hardcover edition, with new photos and a preface by Moriteru Ueshiba, the third and present Aikido Doshu (headmaster) and the author’s son.
