		<description><![CDATA[This book is the last book written by Koichi Tohei. It is the largest, the most detailed, and also the most difficult one to find. It was only sold to Ki Society members in 2001 &#8211; which I was at that time. As with almost all his books, there are chapters on his philosophy and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is Aikido was Koichi Tohei&#8217;s 4th book in English and it was his largest and most ambitious. Early editions were just titled &#8220;This is Aikido&#8221; while later editions were titled &#8220;This is Aikido with Mind &#38; Body Coordinated&#8220;. The new title differentiated Tohei&#8217;s Aikido from the mainstream Aikikai which he had since separated from. [...]]]></description>
