"I would like to thank you for the encouraging and constructive words of your book "Aikido from the Inside Out". I especially enjoyed (and will take to heart) your concept of self-development of one's aikido. Thanks again for a wonderful book and for putting some things about aikido into a different perspective for me."

-Bill Christman, 4th kyu, Aikido West, Redwood City, CA


"Loved your electronic book on Aikido."

-Michael, 1st dan, Isshin Ryu, California


"Your book, "Aikido from the Inside Out", helped me to understand and identify the underlying principles of all Aikido techniques. The recognition and application of these principles in practicing Aikido has enabled me to grasp it's essence. I enjoyed the book and find it helpful in my own Aikido practice."

"I recommend this book to everyone. Howard has a deep understanding of Aikido principle and describes it in terms which are easy to understand."

-Chuck Clark, 7th dan, Chief Instructor, Jiyushinkan, Tempe, AZ


"I enjoyed it thoroughly: no pontificating, no 'O-sensei said,' no rehashing of the same damned things that every aikido book since 1960 has contained. In other words, you have actually written something that is useful."

-David Martin, 4th dan, Instructor, Shobu Aiki Dojo, Oklahoma City, OK


"An excellent, most excellent book. You have accurately revealed the hidden, inner aspects of Aikido."

-Shari Dyer, 4th dan, Instructor
Aikido of Diablo Valley, Concord, CA


"I really like the way you get into the feel of the art and don't emphasize technique....I liked the connection [chapter] a lot because I think what you've found is a natural place to start talking about aikido and then go through a progression that makes good sense to someone new to the art."

-Rob Swigart, 2nd dan, Instructor, Burgess Park Aikido, Menlo Park, CA.
"This is really an impressive piece work. It's good to know that there are some people out there that do care about Aikido and undertsand its natural and universal priciples."

-Enmanuel Maura, 1st dan, Santo Domingo Aikidokai, Dominican Republic
