Since its founding by Morihei Ueshiba  Aikido has become one of the most renowned martial arts in the world  teaching its practitioners the way of harmony as a spiritual path. With its rapid development in the postwar period  Aikido is now practiced by over a million-and-a-half people worldwide  of all ages and backgrounds. The two direct successors to the Founder have therefore compiled official course books to establish guidelines for the proper practice of the martial art.  Moriteru Ueshiba  grandson of the Founder  together with his late father  Kisshomaru Ueshiba  coauthored the widely acclaimed Best Aikido: The Fundamentals  a comprehensive training aid for Aikido students from beginner to advanced. In The Aikido Master Course: Best Aikido 2  Moriteru continues the legacy of his predecessors  providing the essential second volume authorized by the Aikikai Foundation  the central organization set up by his grandfather Morihei Ueshiba.  In this volume  Moriteru shows probably more techniques and their diverse applications than any previous Aikido textbook. Based on a thorough understanding of the principles taught in The Fundamentals  the basic techniques are given a broader application against a variety of armed and unarmed attacks and against more than one attacker. Many different kinds of pins are also illustrated in both their omote and ura forms  thus facilitating the study of Aikido techniques in a wide-ranging and varied manner.  The Aikido Master Course builds on the principles of entering (irimi) and turning (tenkan) combined with \"breath power\" taught in the first volume  providing the practitioner with step-by-step instructions that will enrich knowledge acquired in the dojo. Illustrated with over 1 100 photographs of the author demonstrating each technique  this will be an indispensable guide for students of Aikido who wish to deepen their knowledge of the techniques  which  in the words of the Founder himself  have \"unlimited application.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646996144181,"sku":"ByrdShop_477002763X","price":131.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9784770027634.jpg?v=1781684765","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-aikido-master-course-best-aikido-2-9784770027634","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
