Remembering O-Sensei by Susan Perry
Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969), founder of the Japanese martial art of Aikido, is one of the greatest and most beloved martial artists in history. Remembering O-Sensei is a portrait of Ueshiba as told by his uchi-deshi, the students who lived and trained with him as his disciples. This collection of memories--gathered here for the first time--captures the essence of this extraordinary martial arts master and visionary, revealing Ueshiba's teaching style, his daily habits, his philosophy of life, the lovably human aspects of his personality, and his deep belief that Aikido could be used as a means to creating peace and harmony in the world. The book also provides a snapshot of a fascinating time in Japanese history when a student would apprentice with his master by essentially moving in with him and receiving instruction through rigorous training sessions, and also by serving him and observing his actions in daily life. Most of the students whose remembrances are included in this book went on to spread the teaching of Aikido throughout the world and became masters in their own right. From the Hardcover edition.
Susan Perry grew up in the small town of Thomaston, Alabama which she says was an adventure in itself. Later, she moved to Historic Franklin, Tennessee where she met her husband Reggie. They still call Franklin home. Susan is the mother of four, grandmother of five, and longtime Sunday School teacher. Children have always been a big part of her life. This journey God has taken me on has made me more aware than ever of the importance of teaching our children, at an early age, to know God's truth. My failures, my achievements and everything in between are reflected, just a little, in each of my stories. I hope that my love of Christ is what is reflected most.
