Video of Lia Suzuki Sensei. I really like the use of the short sword. Good for training not to grip uke and avoiding a slightly longer weapon than a tanto. We might have to get some in.
Recommended Reading
You may or may not know Neil Saunders’ book, “Aikido: the Tomiki Way” is probably our most recommended read for our members. The sheer number of photos alone is fantastic, helping to see the continuity of techniques from start to finish.
If anyone would like to buy these books direct from the author, or his DVD, we have added a link to Neil’s site to our links section.
Google books also has a nice preview of “Aikido: The Tomiki Way”
