## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great guide for anyone dreaming about training in Aikido in Japan.
  

*by I***Z on Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2023*

My husband has been using this book as a master planner. While my son trains in Aikido and cultivates aspirations of training at world headquarters Aikikai The book is a very entertaining read and can be somewhat of an instruction manual. My son and I enjoy reading this book and imagining his future. Thank you.

    Great Life Story - I Recommend This Book
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2014*

I am not a martial artist but I enjoyed this book anyway and here's why:The author shares his encyclopediac knowledge in and passion for a wide variety of topics.  His voice is alternately intense, witty, breezy and hard boiled, a nice combination.The philosophy behind and history of Aikido and other martial arts are juxtaposed with detailed descriptions of what to me seemed to be exotic practice techniques.  This piqued my curiosity and enlightened me not just about martial arts but about life in general.The author did a good job of describing places I'd never been and situations I'd never been in.  I felt I was right there with him which was exciting because he's lived one heck of a life.The author's dedication to excellence and courage to reach for his dreams inspired me.My one quibble with the book was that it needed a stronger editor.  The author has both a great voice and a great story.  A great editor would have made both even better.  I recommend this book as an avid reader.  I did not feel I enjoyed it any less because I am not a martial artist.  I hope the author writes that second book he mentioned being in the works...

    This is an excellent book that I recommend to fellow martial artists
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2017*

This is an excellent book that I recommend to fellow martial artists, especially of the Japanese Martial Arts. The author shares a lot of great insights into his adventures in Japan and China, with a nice sense of humor and "matter-of-fact" info that many can enjoy.I was surprised by one particular chapter that broke away from Aikido and really focused on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and it's roots in Judo. Quite informative.My one real complaint, a minor one really, was the excessive footnotes. At least half of the footnotes could have just been continued in the paragraph. But once again, a minor annoyance.Overall I think the author is a good ambassador for spreading the practice of Aikido throughout the world, and I'm looking forward to other books he writes.
