Nov 18, Stephen rated it it was amazing. This is a very interesting book on O-Sensei.

It was well thought out and planned. Sep 02, David Rooney rated it liked it. A good introduction to the founder of Aidido, however it is too liberally peppered with tales of O Sensei's feats of superhuman strength and ability.

A fantastic man he was, but at the end of the day still a man. Apr 04, Pupsi rated it it was ok Shelves: Not a great read. Dec 27, Matt rated it really liked it. I've read several books on Aikido, and each inevitably has some of the notable O'Sensei stories peppered into the introduction at least.

I enjoyed this biography as it fills in many of the details surrounding those stories: I have short patience for works tha I've read several books on Aikido, and each inevitably has some of the notable O'Sensei stories peppered into the introduction at least. I have short patience for works that perhaps overplay the mystique around O'Sensei, so I liked how this book tends to present the various accounts of O'Sensei's supernatural capabilities in the words of those who witnessed his feats.

He does not add further commentary as to whether the reader should believe them or not. Furthermore, Stevens doesn't seem to pull punches in that he includes anecdotes about less palatable aspects of O'Sensei's life - an affair with a young woman in Hokkaido, his poor management of finances, and many instances illustrating his overall eccentricity. All in all, the effect is an honest feeling treatment. In other words, you can look at the more unbelievable accounts like O'Sensei dodging bullets and reading minds as either his and his disciples' efforts to add to his mystique or as an affirmation of your faith in his abilities.
