Zusatztext "The practice of martial arts is the practice of the development of human communication.

I highly recommend this enjoyable book!" - Shigeru Kawabe!

The student learns that the real goal is practice itself! the gradual awareness of one's surroundings! and the appreciation of the present that attention to duty brings." - George Blankenship Informationen zum Autor Gaku Homma Klappentext In Aikido Sketch Diary: Dojo 365 Days, Gaku Homma introduces his readers to the annual round of events at the Nippon Kan dojo, where the new member has the opportunity to practice in daily activities the spirit of Aikido "beyond the mat."
