Bad news for Aikido book fans...
Just discovered that Kodansha International, who have been a prolific publisher of Aikido (and other MA) books, has ceased operations permanently. Some of their existing publications will continue under their former affiliate brand, Kodansha America, but there will be no new products, and those titles still "in the pipe" (like the much-anticipated Shioda title, "Aikido: My Spiritual Journey") have been cancelled. I'll post more info as I get it...

They really were my favorite Aikido book company. Their bindings were very nice. Sad.

Bad news...please tell me they published Aikido: My Spiritual Journey by Gozo Shioda on the first of this month.

Bad news indeed. |
Re: Bad news for Aikido book fans...
That had a 1st May release, so i'd hoped it'd escape the cessation.
All the work that must have gone into it, and for nothing. |

Sad to hear another calls it quit.
Grateful for all they have done. |
Re: Bad news for Aikido book fans...
I don't suppose there's been any further word on that Shioda book - Aikido: My Spiritual Journey?
I was really looking forward to reading it. |

Hope you're doing well. I ordered the book, too. Coupon code is actually "HAPPYHALLOWEEN325". With shipping, it was about $31. Can't find the book anywhere else, though. It's listed as sold out everywhere. Mark |
Re: Bad news for Aikido book fans...
looks like it's sold out there now as well.

Re: Bad news for Aikido book fans...
I just got notification that my order on Lulu was canceled and they will be issuing me a refund. Mark, did you have any better luck?
