Introduction to Aikido is a vintage Japanese instructional book by renowned Aikido master Gozo Shioda (塩田剛三), founder of Yoshinkan Aikido and one of the most prominent students of Aikido founder Morihei Ueshiba.
The book introduces the fundamental principles and techniques of Aikido through photographs and explanations. Shioda demonstrates essential posture, movement, balance breaking, wrist controls, joint locks, pins, and throwing techniques, showing how an opponent's force and movement can be redirected rather than opposed directly.
Part of the Japanese Sport Graphic Series, the book provides an early visual record of Shioda's approach to Aikido and the technical foundations that became characteristic of the Yoshinkan style. It is particularly valuable for practitioners and collectors interested in Yoshinkan Aikido, classical Aikido technique, Gozo Shioda, and postwar Japanese martial arts history.
