Competitive Aikido (Tomiki) Training Methods Book by Yoshiomi Inoue & Toshiya Komatsu

This book compiles the training methods for the style of Aikido (known as Tomiki Aikido) practiced by the NPO Japan Aikido Association—an organization founded by Kenji Tomiki, a senior disciple of Aikido's founder, Morihei Ueshiba. (Please note: This is not an official textbook of the Japan Aikido Association.)

The volume covers a range of topics, including solo *shuto* (knife-hand) exercises, the "Seven Kuzushi" (off-balancing) techniques, and unique training methods developed by Sensei Yoshiomi Inoue.

All explanations are accompanied by photographs featuring Sensei Yoshiomi Inoue, a 7th-degree black belt in Aikido. The book also includes a glossary of Aikido terminology and outlines the prescribed standing techniques used in demonstration competitions, making it a valuable resource for everyone from beginners to competitive practitioners.
