Progressive Aikido Volume 2: An Illustrated Handbook

Following the same pictorial format as its sister book, â€˜Essential Aikidoâ€™, â€˜Progressive Aikidoâ€™ presents a wide range of techniques and training methods to extend the Aikido practitionerâ€™s repertoire. We have called them â€˜progressiveâ€™ because in the main they are usually addressed after an Aikido student has gained a good level of proficiency in basics (as described in â€˜Essential Aikido â€™).
The techniques are shown as sequences of photographs of key positions, where necessary each one annotated to improve the readerâ€™s understanding of toriâ€™s actions.
The ebook is in two volumes:
Volume 1 extends the Aikido repertoire by describing Tachi-waza (techniques with both training partners standing) appropriate to most of the attack forms commonly practised in Aikido dojos, Hanmi handachi-waza (tori kneeling and uke standing) and Suwari-waza (both partners kneeling).
In Volume 2, Kaeshi-waza, or counter techniques, is presented in three forms, namely single counter techniques, multiple technique sequences, and freeform, continuous counter techniques. They move progressively from relatively simple to advanced practice forms.
Kanren-waza examines possible ways to adapt technique in response to ukeâ€™s actions, typically when uke attempts to prevent a technique from completing.
Renzoku-waza describes technique combinations that address certain training situations, namely multiple attack practice and recovery from faulty technique execution.
The Ninin-dori section illustrates techniques that can be used when two attackers hold tori .
Finally, a training scheme for Jiyu-waza training is presented, including suggestions for techniques appropriate to dealing with multiple attack Jiyu-waza.
