This book is the English translation of the most famous Aikido book written by Olivier Gaurin who has lived in Japan for nearly 40 years. The question is simple: Can a Westerner understand Aikido? And if it is possible, what does it really mean to understand Aikido? So this book answers these two essential questions... and in fact how to really understand the purpose of aikido, this deeply Japanese art? This book answers this question that almost all neophytes, aikido practitioners and even aikido instructors ask themselves, or end up asking themselves one day. But understanding aikido"? It means to decode aikido, of course, but even more to go and capture its creative purpose, to extract this primary core of meaning to discover its maturity, and finally to integrate this vital core in our lives. Then everything becomes luminous: learning and training in aikido, its mastery, allows an operation of "demining" aggressiveness and violence but also our own personal violence. Aikido is a pragmatic method for the development and cultivation of peace. This book shows that it is possible for everyone to grasp the true meaning of aikido and to revolutionize one's practice to go further.
