At the time of the publication of "Takemusu Aiki Koshinage," Saito Sensei was 50 years old and in his physical prime. His mastery of technique and ability to organize and explain aikido's vast cur- riculum are legendary. Saito Sensei's extradordinary skill and great atten- tion to detail will be readily apparent to readers of this volume This manual was part of a project I realized together with Morihiro Saito during the period of my residence in Iwama, Ibaragi Prefecture, in the late 1970s and early 1980s. With Saito Sensei's cooperation, I took several hundred black and white photos of numerous aikido techniques, both basic and advanced, inside the Iwama Dojo. Some of the technical sequences from this collection of photos were published in “Aiki News” during this time frame in bilingual format. Saito Sensei's uke in these photos is Jason Yee of California who was an uchideshi in the Iwama Dojo at that time All together, two manuals were published, this one on koshinage--aikido's hip throw techniques--containing 26 forms, and an earlier volume presenting numerous techniques from katatedori grabs. The preparation of these manuals took the form of Saito Sensei tape-recording explanations for the respec- tive techniques while viewing photo layouts. From this, a Japanese text version was created which I then translated into English. Only about 200 or 300 copies of "Takemusu Aiki: Koshinage” were printed Most of these were sold within a relatively short time. There was no second print run due to lack of funding. The booklet eventually went out of print and many years later, I found myself left with only one archival copy of the Koshinage volume. In fact, I could find not a single copy of the first volume of Katatedori techniques, much to my chagrin. As fortune would have it, Clark Bateman, compliler of the Aikido Journal Bibliography, was recently able to locate and procure a used copy of the missing booklet which will be scanned and published shortly in ebook format. High-resolution scans from my original copyfof/™akemusu Aiki: Koshinage” were made to produce this ebook. Minor layOut\chariges--mainly the alignment and centering of elements on the page--Rave been introduced using photo editing software to enhance the final\appéarance of the ebook. Publications like this in PDF format offer a numbex\of advantages over the printed medium, most notably the ability ito-Zdem in on photo details, a great aid in the study of these tdehfiigues* Even though I demive some satisfaction from having preserved many important aikido documents\ig my research over the years, the task is unending. Thus on this occasion 6f the publication of "Takemusu Aiki: Koshinage" in ebook form, Tyam\pl€ased with the knowledge that another rare document from a gregtfaikide master has been snatched from the jaws of oblivion, and made aVablabYe to-the worldwide aikido community.

Once again, Saito Sensei has given graciously of his vast expe- rience and knowledge of the Aikido taught to him by O-Sensei. We would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his generous support and assistance in helping us make this project a reality. As we all know, and words on a page are not the best way to learn about something as active and dy- namic as Aikido. There is no substitute for the direct teaching of a qualified in- structor. We do, however, hope that this collection of techniques will serve as a supplement to your training. Our intention is that this manual provide a strong foun- dation for the correct per- formance of "koshinage" (hip throw) techniques. Although, we have tried to be clear in our photos and explanations, I'm sure that you will be left with a few questions. Please note that in some of the sequences we have changed the angle of the uke and nage so that you are afforded a better view of the action. (These changes are indicated in the text.) we must also leave it up tofyou and your training partner to fill in the gaps between the photos by trying the tech- niques on eachrother. If youssare able to learn and utilize the techniques we have presented here, we will have accomplished our goal. pictures COSREFSB, Bois, APL TEORR A SMBIIICE DO, R=. — APOoMRSVE Lic WRG, ARE ARBASHED FEARS NTWOBSRKUAR WOBRLARE.
