Aikido: Lighting the Way by Susan Perry
Morihei Ueshiba, a venerable Japanese man usually referred to as O-Sensei whose vision of world peace gives us not only a philosophy by which to understand it but a practice by which to embody it, founded an art called Aikido. Because Aikido is a practical philosophy with a physical art embedded within, the two aspects - the physical and the hidden - constitute a unified whole. And it is this unified whole that is the focus of this book.
