A little bit difficult to understand, but i love Aikido

[Rachael Tiow · Rating 5 out of 5]

I feel that this book will be more relevant and helpful for those practicing Aikido.
Just as one can't understand what is meditation just by reading it, one can't fully understand and realize the depth of Sunadomari Sensei's words just by reading it.

However, it is a good read for anyone wanting to just read Sunadomari Sensei's realizations of Aikido.

The Spanish title is, "El Corazon del Aikido". I like that better than "Enlightenment through Aikido". My favorite parts of the book are the quotes by O'Sensei.
