Now an 8th dan Aikido master teacher, Nadeau has taught generations of students, and several have become prominent teachers in their own right. However, he has never written about his life or philosophy, always reserving his most pointed lessons for those who practice with him in person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book tells the story of Robert Nadeau’s life journey and his distinctive approach to teaching Aikido as a way to access the inner energetic aspects of the art, a transformational approach with universal applications in daily life, even for non-Aikidoists. The authors explore Nadeau’s early interest in martial arts and all things spiritual as a teenager in California in the 1950s, his seminal training under Morihei Ueshiba at Aikido Hombu Dojo in Tokyo in the 1960s, and the following six decades of training, experimenting, refining, and teaching as he worked to introduce Aikido to the wider world, even beyond the traditional dojo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey lay out Nadeau’s core concepts, describe his simple-but-effective practices for personal development, and convey his time-tested approach to the inner training at the heart of Aikido in a very accessible way. They also include first-person accounts from Nadeau’s students, including Dan Millman, Richard Strozzi-Heckler, Peter Ralston, and Renée Gregorio, who recall their personal experiences of training with him, retell conversations with him, and describe insights and lessons learned, sharing how he affected their lives, sometimes quite profoundly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBringing the story of Robert Nadeau’s life into focus, this book presents, for the first time, the profound lessons and deep impact of a pioneering teacher who’s been central to the spread of Aikido in the West.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46626811248876,"sku":"9798888500712","price":39.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/7160853488913.jpg?v=1751869323"},{"product_id":"quantum-aikido-by-richard-moon-9781644119778","title":"Quantum Aikido","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow modern physics confirms the energetic power Aikido\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDraws on quantum mechanics and physics, like wave–particle duality and the unified field theory, to define the energetics of Aikido.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExplores concepts of Aikido such as \u003ci\u003emusubi\u003c\/i\u003e (to tie together), connection, and reconciliation to re-link the individual with the universal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProvides lessons for everyday life to enhance personal and professional relationships and diffuse threatening situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAikido is a martial art that offers a philosophy of harmonizing energy.

As quantum physics and Aikido reveal, the dualism of two conflicting opposites is an illusion. It is the unified field of the two that creates life and from which reality emanates.
