More Stuff To Come!.
I can not believe how much stuff is on the server. It is like an Onion, I peel one layer away only to find another. There are many, many photos that need to be re-edited for more effective viewing, as well as articles and bits of text that need to be looked at.
By trade I am a Graphic Artist, and as an artist I find that I am a good "speeler" (speller) and I write goodly (well). Many of you probably have noticed the errors peppered throughout this site.
Updates for March.
I am slogging through all the photo prints I have squirreled away, to find the tatiest morsels for your viewing pleasure.
For March I have Added the Toyoda Sensei Photo Essay, with just a few photos on the page. There are many, many more that will be added to that page as I get them scanned, and cleaned up.
I have also added a few more links to the "Links of Interest" area on this page. Take alook and see who is who around the area. |
 Videos! Well for the longest time we had the same tired video clips on the OLD KBA web site. There is really no excuse for this because I, your humble webmaster, work in the Film and Television field and have access to all manner of video and sound recording equipment, not to mention video editing suites that cost in the thousands of dollars.... So with that I promise some super cool stuff.
Come back often, and chances are, that new stuff will be added the next time you visit. If there is something you'd like to see... let me know!

KBA Recommended Books for Aikidoka

Aikido Magazines and General Info Sites

 Author: A. Westbrook & O. Ratti
Pub: 1970 by Charles E. Tuttle Co.
Pages: 375
Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere is considered by most Aikidoka the Primer for Aikido. This book is an excellent addition to any library, but is especially helpful to those who are just starting down the "Path of Enlightenment".
The book is wonderfully illustrated, and there are clear, consise explainations of technique. The only problem is that the techniques outlined are not described in their Japanese names, and you are learning "Projection No. 10 against Attack No. 1". Other than that I highly recommend this book for beginners, and "old timers" alike. -BK
