Budo Renshu

Budo Renshu (武道練習, Budō Renshū, lit. "budo practice") is a technical manual describing 166 techniques of the martial art of aikido. It was written by aikido's founder, Morihei Ueshiba and his student Kenji Tomiki, and illustrated by Takako Kunigoshi.[1][2][3]

Budo Renshu was published in 1933, and thus details Ueshiba's pre-war aikido techniques, when the art he was teaching was essentially Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu.[4]The book was only produced in small quantities, and was made available to selected students at the Kobukan Dojo, to whom it was presented as a teaching licence.[3][5]
