• Martial Arts: The Spiritual Dimension

  Peter Payne / Thames and Hudson (1987)

  Philosophical / Spiritual

  Summary: Although not purely Aikido, this book is included because of the Aikido training of the author (from Kanetsuka and Chiba Senseis), and because the book explores the aspects that many feel sets Aikido apart from other budo... the philosophy and spiritual components. Many references are made to O'Sensei, Kisshomaru Doshu, Saito Sensei and others. Well illustrated.
