The Structure of Aikido: Kenjutsu and Taijutsu Sword and Open-Hand Movement Relationships
Author Gaku Homma
Publisher Frog Books
Number of Pages 200
Date Published 16 May 1997

In this remarkable interpretation of the foundation of Aikido technique, Gaku Homma focuses on the relationship between Japanese swordsmanship and open-hand movement, uniting historical tradition with the contemporary development of the art of Aikido. Although the study of Kenjutsu and Aikido have long been associated, this is the first book in which actual Aikido techniques are related to sequences used with the sword. Sixteen hundred frame-by-frame photos mirror the movement shared by both arts.
