Dear Aikido Warrior, Many years ago, I was in love with Aikido, but I couldn't make the techniques work. After looking to Krav Maga and MMA, I understood what was the problem with Aikido. The results from my personal quest were confirmed by anecdotes from legendary Aikido masters … and the first Western Aikido book by Tadashi Abe. I wrote my own book "Self-Defense Aikido" to share with you what I found. 1. How to turn the martial art of peace into a form of self-defense (eliminating tyranny of choice, circular movement, and upward directed throws) 2. Offense is the best defense → how to attack with Ikkyo, Iriminage, Kotegaeshi, etc. (attacking techniques inspired by O Sensei!) 3. 100% satisfaction guarantee
