Aikido, the Contemporary Martial Art of Harmony: Training Methods and Spiritual Teachings is an introductory book on aikido, which is now enthusiastically practiced at 2,400 dojos in Japan and in 140 countries and regions in the world. Moriteru Ueshiba, the author and Doshu [leader of the head family] of aikido, explains in easy-to-understand words the philosophy, techniques, and training methods of aikido which are designed to enable its trainees to transcend contests and conflicts and to develop themselves mentally and physically in perfect harmony with each other in training. The reader, even without any knowledge or substantial experience of aikido training, will understand what this wonderful martial art is all about.
