Summary: Very Impressive...
Comment: Having seen other books on the subject of Aikido, I can definitely say that this one gives credence to Aikido in general and to the Tomiki-style as well. Compared to "Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere" it ranks better than that book in explaining certain fundamental issues such as Tsugi/Ayumi-Ashi (footwork) and helpful falling exercises clearly. Also, the documentaion of effective/non-injurous Atemi-waza in addition to standard Aikido is something not covered in the Dynamic Sphere. Although, I would have to say the organization and total content of Dynamic Sphere was greater...
Aikido:Tradition and Tomiki New free fighting method is an excellent book and I'd recommend it as a necessary supplement...

Summary: Great for all Aikidoka
Comment: I used this book when I was training in Tomiki Aikido. It was a great help in learning the basics and I enjoyed reading about the history of Tomiki Aikido. In my opinion the descriptions and photos are good enough to learn from providing you are taking instruction in Tomiki or any other type of Aikido.
The reason I think it's great for all Aikidoka is because all Aikidoka should be familiar with the so-called different styles within Aikido. The meaning of the word Aikido is 'The Way of Harmony' and if this is to be true then all Aikidoka need to respect each other and their so-called styles.
This really is a good book and well worth reading. It's a great study aid in conjuction with the blue book by Lee a Loi, The Dynamic Sphere and of course professional instruction in the art of Aikido.
'Dream in light years, challenge miles, walk step by step'. Living Aikido.

Summary: The material is good, but the illustration isn't
Comment: The material presented in this book is good and pretty extensive. It starts with the fundamental exersices, and then explains numerous applications and techniques. However, the photos are not clear at all. They are b/w, small, and with no arrows to show the directions of the movements. I believe that this book needs to be re-published with higher quality of illustration.
