Read this book when it was first published.
The author and his team created and introduced a mind/body programme into the US military.
It is interesting to see how the troops respond to the claims of the instructors, especially those around the effectiveness of aikido and combat - mindsets change as the sessions progress and the trainings take effect.
Alongside the aikido sessions there are also mind/body fitness programmes and a meditation retreat.
It's a great book and well worth taking the time to read (or listen to on audible) and it is one I have returned to a number of times over the years![Thumbs up :thumbsup: 👍](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f44d.png)
