"Your guide for newbies covers vastly all the points that worry me the most ... I read it eagerly the minute I received it, and several times more after. ... I wonder how people used to prepare for their first gradings in the olden days, before you guys wrote this guide ... In general, I like the understanding and friendly style of yours, and the tricks to gain a few secs in case you feel too tired! ..." Patricia, London

Kokyunage

Another thought that might take us closer to the understanding of how aikido techniques work. As I did not grow up in an environment where Far Eastern philosophy was an everyday element of life, and I have the standard European man's mentality, and tendency to analyse things, I would like to explain some of the mechanics of aikido techniques based on my own expericences, analyses, and my Master's teachings.
