landroval 's review for:
Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere: An Illustrated Introduction
by Oscar Ratti, Adele Westbrook
A bit too much background for my taste. I didn't like the writing style with the authors always referencing themselves as "the authors". It felt like reading a german text (and I prefer english texts because they are usually easier to read than the german ones).
Also practicing Jiu Jitsu myself, some techniques are very "arty": when I saw the graphic showing tori running towards uke's knife I almost stopped reading right there (I know that Aikido is about the art - and less about self defense - but why would you teach anyone something like that?)
