the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

No worries - I'm an MA history geek.. Hidden in Plain Sight does a wonderful job of examining DR/Aikido and the history behind them. But all of Mr Amdur's other books are fantastic also - Old School is great, and even The Girl with the Face of the Moon.. which is fiction.

Finny, thanks a lot for the book reference, it sounds like a good overview of things that I've always been curious about when it comes to Aikido/Dayto Ruy's history!
