Budo Renshu 武道練習

(Budo Training). A training manual published in 1934 based on the techniques of Morihei UESHIBA of that period. Various UCHIDESHI would pose for drawings sketched by Takako KUNIGOSHI (see AN#47-49). All together about 211 techniques are presented. An essay and series of poems called DOKA appear as an introduction to the techniques. The book was republished in bilingual format in 1978 based on an idea conceived by AIKI NEWS editor Stanley PRANIN and implemented by Tetsutaka SUGAWARA of the Minato Research and Publishing Company. Permission for republication was obtained from Second DOSHU Kisshomaru UESHIBA. It was translated by Larry and Seiko BIERI..
