Direct student of the Founder Morihei Ueshiba, Hiroshi Tada sensei (IX dan) is one of the greatest living masters, who embodies the essence of aikidō in its authenticity. In his 60 years of teaching in Italy he has developed a profound and demanding teaching method, an expression of the culture and traditional spirit of Japan.
Following the path traced by his teachings, these pages offer:
• detailed explanations, accompanied by images and videos, extremely useful for beginners approaching the world of aikidō;
• accurate insights, elaborated in a simple and clear way, regarding the teaching method of master H. Tada;
• extensive treatises on the profound psychology and spiritual philosophy underlying the Art of aikidō;
• a series of considerations and intuitions that touch on themes intimately related to the practice of this discipline.
All this is presented from the privileged point of view of Fabrizio Ruta (VI dan and member of the Educational Management of the Aikikai d’Italia), a long-time student of Master H. Tada. Ruta does not hesitate to tell his aikido journey, laying bare his soul and highlighting how aikido, even more so in the vision offered to him by his Master, presents itself as a practice that is not limited to the purely technical-formal aspect, but becomes a spiritual dimension of existence embodied in a Way.
