My heartfelt appreciation also goes to my devoted student, Dr. Lynn Seiser, Ph.D., and to his wife, Pamela, without whom this book would probably never have come to life.

I sincerely hope that this book will be a useful tool for any reader who is seriously interested in aikido training.

—SENSEI PHONG THONG DANG, 6TH DAN AIKIDO,

FOUNDER OF THE INTERNATIONAL TENSHINKAI AIKIDO FEDERATION

TWO-TIME INDUCTEE IN THE WORLD MARTIAL ART HALL OF FAME

CHIEF INSTRUCTOR, WESTMINSTER AIKIKAI DOJO

I humbly dedicate this volume, the second of three aikido works, with my deepest respect and appreciation to my aikido instructor, Sensei Phong Thong Dang, for his expertise, compassion, and inspiration. It is a humbling honor to train with a legend and to be trusted with his teachings. I hope my simple contributions in some small way help promote, perpetuate, and propagate his teachings, his style, his federation, and the greater good of the world aikido community. Sensei, domo arigato gozaimashita.

I respectfully dedicate this work with my deepest appreciation to all my fellow students and training partners (sempai, tohai, and kohai) past, present, and future for their patience, their loving protection, and for sharing the knowledge that is included here. Without them, there is no training.
