Aikido, Iron Balls and Elbow Power: The Teachings of Alex Essani Book
Alex Essani, the Aikido teacher and practitioner, whose thoughts about the practice of Aikido are expressed in this book, does not actually exist â?? he is a fictitious character invented by the author as a means of exploring ideas.However, the training philosophy and methods attributed to Alex Essani are definitely not fictitious: they are based on the authorâ??s personal experiences with real Aikido instructors, in particular his current sensei, and on many years of practising, studying and teaching Aikido. The conversations between the two main characters, Alex Essani and his student Ian, are inventions used to illustrate an important principle or concept. As the authorâ??s real Aikido teacher would put it after telling a tall story, â??This is a true story; only the facts have been changedâ?; insofar as the author has fictionalised real incidents and conversations, this book is the same â?? it is fiction based on fact.In this second edition of the book formerly entitled â??Iron Balls and Elbow Powerâ?, the author has revised or extended many of the original chapters, and added seventeen new chapters and a completely new Part 3 which describes a range of commonly practised Aikido techniques.Read More
