It’s a lot like dancing is one of the first books published by an american aikidoist that conveyed the potential for unifying physical and philosophical peacemaking in the practice of a martial art.

Through anecdotes and photographs the reader is given a unique taste of the experience of aikido as meaning, experience, and art.

Great passage from the book…

There is a wonderful line by Raymond Chandler: “Down these mean streets must walk someone who is not himself mean.” I felt myself being evaluated by Osensei in that way. Unfortunately I’m too mean [to fulfill that role] but I appreciated that he was looking for that quality.
