"The new book "Positive Aikido" has now been published and released through Trafford Publishing. www.Trafford.com.....
The book can be purchased through Traffords UK office 01270 251396. £9-46.
The book written by both Henry Ellis and Derek Eastman who were direct students of Kenshiro Abbe Sensei in the 1950's.
The following is a review
by Sensei Nigel Jones a well known reviewer of Aikido books.

Many publications on the subject of Aikido come and go. A majority all
revolve around the same format or topics. It is unusual for a no holds book to be
released. To have a warning printed on the first page, invites you in to read
more!

This book cannot be classed as a technical, although a whole chapter is
dedicated to techniques. The main proportion of the book deals with personal
interpretation of what Aikido means to the authors. It draws comparison with
modern day Aikido, and the Aikido from the past; all it's good and bad points.
There is also a strong emphasis on personal history.

In so many ways, it breaks the boundaries of what a traditional Aikido book
is suppose to show and say! The authors are to be congratulated for a no
nonsense approach, and breaching the normal concept of what is expected from a
book in this category. I'm sure it will cause a great debate among different
groups, which should be encouraged. Finally, if the dialogue causes the reader
to cough, splutter, or even split blood; at least the cover can be easily
wiped.

The cover of the book is a classic work of art and graphics, please visit the website BritishAikido
