Aikido and Chinese Martial Arts: Aikido and Weapons Training Vol.2 (Aikido & Weapons Training) Reviews

Review by C. J. Hardman:

This 332 page volume is the first in a projected 3-volume series. This first volume compares the philosophy of Chinese Martial arts with that of Aikido, and the empty-handed combative aspects of both arts. This volume is broken down into four sections. The first offers a historical context for both Japanese and Chinese martial arts, the second part deals with Chinese martial arts, and is heavily illustrated and includes descriptive narratives to accompany each sequence of photos. Part three deals with Aikido (specifically the Takemusu style), and illustrated by photos with explanations much the same as part two did for the Chinese arts. Part four includes direct comparisons of the most common techniques of aikido and Chinese Martial Arts. This book is heavily illustrated, and apparently intended for people who have an interest in understanding the similarities and differences–in essence, the connections between different “styles” of martial arts. I do not consider this book to be instructional in nature. Someone without a basis in martial arts training might have difficulty understanding the depth or point of this book–both Chinese martial arts and Aikido are rather extensive in and of themselves. The authors of this book are also NOT concerned with proving that one art is superior in any way to the other. For those with a more studious bent who enjoy considering the possibilities, here is a volume you will enjoy.A note on the co-author’s relationship in research: Co-Author Tetsutaka Sugawara Studied Aikido under the arts Founder Morihei Ueshiba beginning in 1960, and has also studied Goju Ryu and Tai Chi–he is the founder of the Minato Research and Publishing Co (Now known as Sugawara Martial Arts Institute). Co-Author Lu-jian Xing studied Chinese martial arts under Chu-xinag Du, Yan-ling Xing, and others. He met Sugawara when he came to Japan in 1992 to learn Aikido as an Uechi-deshi (live in student) under Sugawara at the Sugawara Institute, and the two commenced their comparative study of these martial arts. The second volume in this series has been published, and deals with weapons aspects of both Chinese Arts and Aikido. I eagerly await the third volume in this series…

Review by M. A. Ramos:

First I would like to say that this book is not for the beginner. The beginning history would be benneficial for all. History is followed over the 1st 100 pages. But the majority of the book is directed mainly toward the art of Aikido and Chin Na. There are many photographs in the book (some other angles would have been most helpful), but the written explanations are fantastic. An overlooked treasure. A must for all those that study Aikido and Chin Na.

Yawara Kata Training DVD Reviews

Review by Richard A. Flora:

The quality of instruction provided on this subject in this DVD ranks among the finest available. Mr. Levitz presents his material in a methodical, precise and coherent manner. The kata and it’s corresponding interpretation turn this simple stick into a formidable self defense weapon that anyone can learn to use regardless of experience. Anyone wishing to expand their repertoire or just wishing to learn some pragmatic self defense would be well served by investing in this instructional video.

Review by Christopher Miller:

Mr. Levitz is an exceptional teacher, who provides insightful and expert knowledge in the Yawara DVD. The DVD details techniques from various angles that are easy to grasp. The kata application (Bunkai) is practical and incredibly effective.

This video is a must for martial artists who are looking to further their education in the art of stick fighting.

I am looking forward to Mr. Levitz’s next DVD project.
