The conprehensive autobiography of the legendary aikiido grandmaster, Gozo Shioda, the founder of the Yoshinkan Aikido.

In the book Gozo Shioda, one of the most influential figures in the history of aikido, traces in his own words his dramatic and fascinating life story. From his origins as a young boy inspired by his father to pursue aikido, the author shares with the reader his life's journey, which he devoted to this martial art. Among his many moving anecdotes, the author writes fondly of his memories of aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba, whom he met as a junior high school student student, and imparts the wealth of knowledge he inherited from this ledendary master as his pupil.

The author recounts the importance of his rigorous daily training in aikido, and how this training afforded him invaluable lessons in how to conduct his life, both physically and spiritually. He also shares with the reader many interesting episodes with prominent martial artists and sportsmen whom he met throughout his illustrious career in aikido.

Drawing on his vast experience, the author writes about the spirit of aikido, and addresses common misunderstandings held by some regarding the martial arts, emphasizing the that the true path of aikidio is one of peace and harmony that should never tolerate aggression. Throughout these pages the author impresses upon the reader the importance of the basics of aikido, including breath power, focused power, and the power of the center line.

This book also contains around thirty rare photos of the author, chronicling his fascinating life in aikido. Including an Afterword written by Yasuhisa Shioda, the author's son, who has himself earned the title of Soke (grand master) and is currently the president of the Yoshinkan Aikido, this book offers the reader a unique insight into the life and experiences of one of aikido's most distnguished masters.

Gozo Shioda was born in Tokyo in 1915. He became an outstanding student of Morihei Ueshiba, the Founder of Aikido. In 1954 he entered the All Japan Martial Arts Exhibition, and won first prize. Holder of the ninth-rank black belt, he founded the Yoshinkan Aikido. In 1988 he was awarded the title of Aikido Meijin (Master) by the International Martial Arts Federation. He was also chief instructor for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, the Air Self-defense force, the Japanese National Railways, Sophia University, Meiji Gakuin University, and Takushoku University, his alma mater. He passed away in 1994.

Yosuhisa Shioda was born in 1952 in Tokyo, the son of Gozo Shioda. Training under his father, he worked to promote aikido, teaching university students, police, and buisiness groups. In 1984 he went to Britain, where he taught aikido for three years, laying a foundation for the development of aikido in that counry. In 2007, he became Soke (grand master) and the kancho (president) of the Yoshinkan Aikido.

Aikido students and ethusiasts the world over will be delighted with this English translation of Gozo Shioda's 'hidden principles,' finally made available by the Yoshinkan school of aikido. An outstanding student of aikido founder Morihei Ueshiba, Shioda, who taught thousands of people in his lifetime, left a profound legacy, successfully teaching the spiritual and practical appications of a martial art that could all too eaaily become mired in one or the other.

In this sequel to Dynamic Aikido, the pre-eminent master continues his explanation of the essental principles but in finer detail. Comprehensive and fully illustrated, Total Aikido covers the basic postures and movements with special emphasis on certain key points for perfecting one's technique to achieve paximum effect with the mnimum of effort. Demonstrations are provided in a jojo setting, with helpful pointers ofr avoiding common mistakes. To enable students to develop greater strength and control, they are shown how to increase their speed, shift their center of gravity, and synchronize movements with those of their opponents.

This is an essential work for students of all levels, a treasury of expert information.

The basics are only a guiding principle. Your strongest posture is the one that fits your constitution. That cannot be taught to you, you have to find it for yourself. It is not a question of widening your stance or narrowing it, if the truth be told. But, people will do what is comfortable for them, so if you allow them to, they will just make it up for themselves. That is why, you must always return to the basics. This is what is important.-Gozo Shioda

-A martial art deriving its effectiveness-like judo and karate-from the flow of ki
-Techniques taht, when thoroughly mastered, enable the gentle to overcome the strong
-Exercise and sport for men an women of all ages, based on natural movements and harmony of mind and body

I truly feel that this translation of Shioda Kancho's book is a great sucess. Throughout the translation, we are provided with a personal and direct experience with Kanco himself-as thoukgh he were standing an moving right there in front of us. This is the true value of this work-it is not merely a translation.-from the Forward by Inoue Kioichi, Dojo-cho, Aikido Yoshinkan Hombu Dojo

The publication of 'Aikido Shugyo' in the English language is a watershed event for aikido enthusiasts everywhere. Gozo Shioda, one of the most talented students of the art's founder Morihei Ueshiba, is the author of this fascinating tome that recounts his career and philosophy as an aikido teracher. Besides describing the events of his exciting life as an early pupil of Ueshiba in the 1930s and his wartime and postwar experiences, Shioda offers a bost of insights into the psychology of the fighting arts and survival in a world of conflict.

This translation by two advanced practitioners of Yoshinkan Aikido is first-rate and this book will be an essential additiona to the collection of any martial arts practitioner.--Stanley Pranin, Editor, Aikido Journal

Foreword

This book has been written in order to provide a textbook for people who are learning Aikido for the first time. We have selected the basic techniques most essential for beginners from among the many techniques practiced every day at the Yoshinkan Dojo. For each we have provided a step-by-step explanation. We have tried to divide the techniques into clear segments and have written the text in simple language.

However, in explaining any martial art, including Aikido, there are always technical points which cannot be explained only through pictures or words. To overcome this problem, it i necesaary to actually practice the techniques in order to learn the points which are not understood through this book, and to read good instructional books over and over again. This will aid in rapid understanding and acquisition of correct techniques.

This book has been written so that Aikido practitioners can reveiw the basic movements and basic techniques done in daily practice, and as a reference for beginners who can refer to the photos and apply the points in their own practice.

We hope that readers can apppreciate the beauty and excellence of Aikido through this introduction.-Yoshikan Aikido Instructors, May 1983
