• Aikido Self-Defense: Holds & Locks for Modern Use

  Bruce Tegner / Thor Publishing (1961)

  Aikido / Judo / Jujutsu / Technical

  Summary: This is another of Tegner's quasi-Aikido self-defense books, many of which are simply reincarnations of previous books. What sets this book apart is the fairly accurate description of the nature of Aikido as a benevolent, non-violent art, and the very early date of publication (1961), which means that it pre-dates practically all other English-language mainstream publications pertaining to Aikido, except for a Tomiki book from 1956, a couple by Makiyama in the late 50's or 1960, and Tohei's first book in 1960. Collectible for this reason, contents notwithstanding.

• Tomiki Aikido: Randori & Koryu No Kata

  Lee Ah Loi / Paul Crompton Ltd. (2001)

  Aikido / Jujutsu / Koryu / Technical

  Summary: This book is basically a re-edited and reprinted compilation of the earlier Book 1 and Book 2, along with excerpts from "Past and Future". Tomiki style. Well illustrated.
