日常の徒手稽古に、剣を持てば剣、杖を持てば杖と、あらゆる再現ができてこそ、融和、創造、育成を説いた開祖の心がはじめて実現できる――
触れ合う前に勝負を決める“入身一足”の理合をベースに、独自の理論を展開。武術を根源としながらも破壊、闘争にならない開祖の合気道を目指し、研鑚を重ねてきた西尾師範の、50余年に及ぶ修行の集大成！
技の一つひとつに著者の理念を込めた、従来の武道書には稀有な技術解説書（日英対記版）。
総論では、許す武道・合気道の理念を体現するための三つの重要な要素「入身」、「当て」、「禊の剣」の技術について解説、技術編では、各技の意味、重要な理合 、そしてそこから学べる開祖の心と技を、徒手のみでなく、剣、杖で再現。
This 208-page technical volume is written by one of the greatest teachers of the postwar era, Shoji Nishio Sensei. This is Nishio Sensei’s first book and is presented in bilingual, Japanese-English format for an international readership. This beautiful volume contains hundreds of technical photos illustrating Nishio Sensei’s empty-handed techniques along with detailed explanations and commentary on their interrelationships with the ken and jo, and the deeper principles of aikido.
