One of the first books on Aikido from the editors of Aikido Today Magazine, this book was published in 2001.
Aikido Talks contains interviews with prominent American Aikido students and teachers, who describe their experiences with Aikido's legendary founder, discuss Aikido's philosophy, explore the warrior spirit, and relate Aikido to such diverse fields as play therapy, law-enforcement,  Taiko drumming, and community building. More than a "martial arts" book, Aikido Talks reveals how Aikido, as a martial art and spiritual discipline, has changed the lives and thoughts of 20 extraordinary people.
