BUDO TRAINING IN AIKIDO Sugawara Martial Arts Institute | Japan Publications UPON REPUBLICATION OF ENGLISH EDITION This book, written by founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, was published as a revised English edition adapted to the current new age. Tam very grateful for this significant publication, Throughout his life Morihei Ueshiba wrote only two books on Aikido. This “Budo | Renshw” (original name) was the first of two. I remember how he had been devoted to | its work while it was still in preparation. Recently, the spirit of Aikido has gained world wide recognition which is the season for which I believe it can serve greatly in the role as a new guiding principle in the education of today’s youth which must bear the next generation, At the beginning of the Showa era (from 1926 onward), Aikido had not been popular when compared with other competitive martial arts seen in tournament, since in Aikido the mind and the body was trained internally without the use of competition. | Recent Aikido has received recognition from other martial arts fields which made me remember many situation of chose past days, filling me with deep emotion, Thope that many people will read this new book with appreciation and use it as ‘mental nutrition in every day training. If this should occur, then this revised edition will have great significance - not only Mr. Tetsutaka Sugawara, who put in quite an ffort in the publication of this book, but also many other people share this wish including the founder now in heaven, Morihei Ueshiba, who is greatful for this publication, 1 sincerely want proper Aikido to be trained.
