Publisher's Synopsis
Certain exercises performed with or without a practice partner form the foundations of Aikido techniques. These exercises vary from dojo to dojo, but this book identifies a set of them which, in the opinion of the author, are especially important for progress and personal development in the art. The Founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, emphasized practising basic forms, and to this end here are a range of exercises that the author believes will be of special benefit to Aikido students of all skill levels.
