The Structure of Aikido Volume I, is a remarkable interpretation of the foundation of Aikido technique. Gaku Homma's in-depth study of the relationship between Japanese swordsmanship and open-hand movement unites 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 technique sequences used with the sword. 1600 frame-by-frame photos mirror the movement shared by both arts.
