Язык: испанский El propósito de esta breve obra es dar a conocer unas técnicas, necesariamente violentas, útiles para la autodefensa. Decimos necesariamente violentas, porque en ellas no tienen lugar ni la belleza ni la deportividad. Entiéndase, pues, bien que el único propósito de estas técnicas es el de, poner fuera de combate a un atacante, de la manera más contundente y rápida posible. Si bien es cierto que observando las fotografías que ilustran los distintos movimientos no es fácil advertir la violencia, la verdad es que las diversas tomas y golpes, aunque no resulten espectaculares — como las técnicas del Karate, por ejemplo— son de una eficacia demoledora y sus resultados, por esto mismo, pueden resultar dramáticos. En electo, practicados sin compasión, pueden arrojar saldos de huesos rotos y ligamentos dislocados. Por ello, nuestra primera advertencia ya la vislumbrará el lector: no aplicarlas más que en situaciones de auténtico peligro; no usarlas en las grescas ocasionales entre amigos ni mucho menos, naturalmente, para atacar. Estas son técnicas de autodefensa y no un arma para abusar contra seres humanos que ni siquiera buscaban pelea. Es un arma, sí, para defenderse de los delincuentes que nos atacan por sorpresa, a mano armada, o de los matones que abusan de su superioridad física contra un oponente débil. Estas técnicas, entonces, representan un arma. No constituyen ningún deporte. Aunque, eventualmente, puedan presentarse en exhibiciones, a manera de enseñanza.

This definitive, profusely illustrated manual covers the essential elements of the philosophy and practice of Aikido, the Japanese martial art that has been embraced by modern psychology and many Western bodywork therapies. Useful to the beginner and experienced practitioner alike, the book details the traditional methods and techniques of Shirata Rinjiro, of whom John Stevens is a principal student. Noted for the precise execution of a wide range of techniques and an emphasis on Aikido as a spiritual path, Shirata Sensei's teachings exemplify the way of the warrior: superior technical prowess combined with profound spiritual insight. In addition to photographs and descriptions of all the important Aikido techniques, Stevens recounts interesting and lively anecdotes about the history of Aikido and its founder, Ueshiba Morihei, who developed it from a martial art into a spiritual discipline. A biography of Shirata Sensei, complete with his reflections on sixty years of Aikido practice, is also included.
