Aikido Basics: Everything you need to get started in Aikido Book by Phong Thong Dang

"Aikido Basics is organized and visually formatted to make it an easy to scan instructional book. How to pick the right class for you, how to behave, the etiquette, culture and every little nook and cranny are covered so you can walk into an Aikido club and have a solid understanding of what is expected of a school and the beginner. If you are looking to start Aikido or are a couple of belts deep (maybe earlier than blue or brown) than this book is in your zone." -- Wade McMaster, Martial Arts & Action Movies
