Pressestimmen
"Abundant Peace is the simply told biography of 'the greatest martial artist who ever lived,' Morihei Ueshiba. Barely five feet tall, Ueshiba trained himself to be the world's most amazing—and indestructible—fighter. Yet he was a man of peace and his personally created martial art, Aikido, has been called a path to love. John Stevens, author of Aikido: The Way of Harmony, has now written an inspiring and anecdote-rich account of Ueshiba's relentless pursuit (and realization) of universal truth. Abundant Peace, though short, reveals many little known facts about the master's life and includes rare photographs and illustrations." —East West
Kurzbeschreibung
Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969), the founder of Aikido—whose name means "abundant peace"—was "undoubtedly the greatest martial artist who ever lived," according to his biographer, John Stevens. "Even if we accept every exploit of all the legendary warriors, East and West, as being literally true, none of those accomplishments can be compared to Morihei's documented ability to disarm any attacker, throw a dozen men simultaneously, and down and pin opponents without touching them, recorded scores of times in photographs, on film, and by personal testimony." How did the diminutive master—barely five feet tall—attain this uncanny power? In Abundant Peace, John Stevens tells the real story behind Morihei's achievement, illuminating the man and his message in a way that will delight and stimulate the reader. Focusing on the how and why of Morihei's career, Stevens describes the people, events, and ideas that influenced his lifelong spiritual quest, which culminated in the unique teachings of Aikido. Illustrated with photographs of Morihei in action and filled with revealing anecdotes about his life and times, the book also offers a valuable discussion of the Founder's conception of Aikido as a path of harmony and love, unifying mind and body, self and others, man and the universe.

Format:Taschenbuch
A wonderful book for Aikido students of all levels
Format:Taschenbuch
John Stevens, Aikido teacher, Professor of Buddhist studies, and author has put together the first full biography of the life of Morihei Ueshiba, Founder of Aikido. This book is an absolute must for any person wishing to understand the context in which Aikido was developed and see the art as the Founder himself saw it. The relationship O-Sensei had with his two primary teachers, Sokaku Takeda of Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu and Onisaburo Deguchi, of the Omotokyo religious movement is especially important. It shows how O-sensei in many ways embodied the characteristics of the ultimate warrior (Takeda) and the ulitmate mystic (Deguchi) in a combined form allowing him to create something completely unique in the practice of Aikido. The only caveat regarding the book is from its tendency to repeat uncritically some of the less believable, mythical stories about the Founder's martial accomplishments as if his true accomplishments needed some embellishment.
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a great book to all those who are interested in aikido. But not just the martial side. You will learn to appreciate how the style came to be, and the life of the man who brought it to be. The parts I realy enjoyed with this book was it went right back to the childhood days of O Sensi and showed right from the start where he begen his training and the resons why. After reading this book you can feel like you lived a lifetime with one of the greatest masters of our time.
