A
Life In Aikido
The history of Japan's martial traditions is replete with many
outstanding individuals, but few have attained the legendary status
of Morihei Ueshiba. Throughout his extraordinary life, Ueshiba
mastered an array of Martial Arts and techniques, including jujutsu
and kendo, and endlessly devoted himself to the philosophies of
Japan's martial schools. He also had a deep knowledge of the
practice of Shinto. Refining these traditions into a wholly new
system, he founded Aikido--the way of harmony. Aikido goes far
beyond simple methods of attack or self-defense, seeking to dispel
aggression by creating a sense of oneness, thus ultimately promoting
peace. Through its unique aspect of both preserving the heritage of
the classical fighting arts and applying them within the context of
contemporary society, Aikido has quickly become one of the most
respected Martial Arts in the world. In this engaging and compelling
biography, the Founder's son Kissomaru Ueshiba (the second Aikido
Doshu) details the life of this remarkable man, from his early years
as a youth in the turbulent Meiji era to his death in 1969.
Incorporating many first-hand accounts and anecdotes as well as
historical documents, the author weaves a fascinating narrative of
the Founder's life, and with great fondness tells of his own
memories of the man who would come to be known as O Sensei--great
master. Ueshiba reveals much about the character and temperament of
his father, painting a picture of a man of formidable commitment and
spirituality, in both his practice of Aikido and his message of
peace. Indeed, his dedication to his art was so strong that through
his techniques he was able to attain kami-waza; an ability that
transcends the human and reaches the divine. This book will appeal
to any reader with an interest in the life of Morihei Ueshiba and a
desire to discover the real person behind the legend.
