Kodo: Ancient
Ways 224 pages, soft cover This book written by Kensho Furuya
is a collection of forty-one essays. Each essay brings with it the
inspired teaching and wisdom of the ancients. Focused on bringing
martial arts back from its mad rush toward becoming mere sport, Kodo
reflects on the deeper aspects of the martial arts as a way of human
development. Although a 6th Dan Aikido instructor, Furuya Sensei's
book is by no means directed solely at Aikido students. In fact, we
suggest every instructor, regardless of style, read this important
book and see that a copy reaches the hands of each of their
students. Item#

shelf. Item#
