Re: Flying solo

For books, I used to recommend poeple start with Spirit of Aikido by K Ueshiba.(despite the techniques in the middle of the book).

Check out almost any of John Stevens' books.

Kodo - Ancient Ways is about training.

Dave Lowry does a good job on traditional Martial Arts training.

That should get you started.

As far as shadow training - or walking through a techniques without a partner. If you are doing this to try to get repitions in of proper movement, you should also consider walking through the ukemi for each technique.
