Budovideos.com - Traditional Aikido Book 3 (2008 Version) by Morihiro Saito

The third volume in the Traditional Aikido series brings the book into the taijutsu, or the body part of Aikido, after that vol I and II have shown the basic and the advanced weapon part. Or as Morihiro Saito Shihan writes in the forward;

The techniques in this book were picked entirely at the discretion of the author who sought, in selecting them, to establish some contextual correlation between pertinent techniques. Some of the techniques may well be construed as deriva-tives from the standard Aikido repertory. ..... As an invaluable aid, I took the liberty to of quoting the words bequeathed by Founder Moirhei Uyeshiba, which represent the “heart of techniques” in such a concise and incisive manner.

Within the Traditional Aikido vol III you will find many hundreds of high quality pictures and over 18 Kuden (secrets of the art bequeathed orally by the Founder Morihei Uyeshiba)
