Filmed at the Alamo City Aikikai in San Antonio, this 3 volume set contains both demonstration and lecture material on the principles involved in the various "Entries" in Aikido. It covers body mechanics, timing, perception, energetic and psychological aspects. As in the sword videos, Ledyard Sensei analyzes the whole process of meeting the attack in the Aikido interaction in minute detail.
