Nihonden Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu Book 2: Aikijujutsu By Kogen Sugasawa (Preowned)

Aiki-jujutsu is distinguished from other jujutsu styles by its principle of "ura-waza" (hidden techniques) of "aiki". This mysterious martial art system was systematized into three major technical methods: "jujutsu," "aiki-jujutsu," and "aiki-no-jutsu." This book, as the second volume, reveals the "ura-waza" = "aiki-jujutsu" techniques that can develop infinitely. Readers will discover the essence of Daito-ryu in these diverse techniques through "aiki no hyoshi" (timing of aiki).
