"Teikō" (抵抗, resistance), polypropylene bokken with saya

Based on well-documented research and a clear, lively and attractive tone, this book offers readers an original presentation of the practice of aikido, the Japanese martial art, and its philosophical aims. The book has two interwoven components: one is designed to introduce newcomers to the discipline and satisfy their curiosity by providing a wealth of reliable, accessible information; the other is designed to highlight certain aspects of the martial art for practitioners and connoisseurs. Emphasis is also placed on the importance of the "personal development" and spiritual dimensions of this practice. The central role played in the conception of this book by an esteemed and recognized aikido teacher such as Marc Bachraty echoes a point of view rich in long experience on the tatamis.
