Progressive Aikido: The Essential Elements

Not the best book I've seen on aikido but the writing is OK on the subject and i found the photos not of a clear quality or detailed enough in order to learn the techniques and execute them which could have been made easier to follow and understand by clear pictures.It is a good read though in a good quality hardback format and for someone new to aikido looking for more information on the art but personally I find the dynamic sphere of aikido and the dytorue of aikido better books on this beautiful and graceful martial art.

good book great service

Excellent!

Bought this for a friend, he was very pleased with it and it was delivered quickly

This is a good book for the beginner and although has some ideas from Best Aikido 1 & 2, it also follows on very nicely from what those have to teach. It answers most questions and demonstrates the fundemental techniques. It is one to refer back to after/or just before a class. I recommend the first part, as well as the second installment of Best Aikido, they are both as good as this and combined make and excellent aikido reference.Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.

It is a really nice book, pretty didactic with a lot of pictures. Excellent for beginners and intermediate level. If you have been practising Aikido for a long time it may be not too helpful. But I believe that if you are into Aikido you will like to have this excellent reference book anyway.
