Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Aiki Secrets: the Aiki Codex, Secret to Circular Aiki, William Dockery capitalizes on the success and insight of his first book Aiki Secrets: Six Precepts and the Dynamic COB in yet again, a most innovative and alternative approach toward martial arts instruction. This extraordinary follow-up gives even more life to an architecture which simplifies and explains one of the most complex of martial arts in existence today: Aikido. Each page reveals the multi-facets of the martial art that cannot be described in just a single concept. As the instruction progresses, Mr. Dockery continually relates and intertwines these concepts in a grand effort to bring the reader to their own realization of what makes Aikido unique, effective, and enjoyable. Nearly a decade of additional research and practice since the previous book is described in a way that seamlessly extends the concepts delivered in "Six Precepts" into an engaging instruction ranging from concrete physical reasons why Aikido works to challenging traditional Aiki mysticism with practical explanations. Not for the beginner, this book is directed toward experienced students seeking material that reveals the principles of Aiki though thought and action, challenges intermediate students to go deeper in areas often skipped due to being poorly defined, and unites the roots of Aikido with the many other martial arts that have influenced its practice; arts that gain benefit from blending Aiki into their own style. Each section reinforces the mental understanding with drills that reveal the kinesthetic 'feeling' behind the words, offering the reader a much deeper awareness through a "mind-body connection development" approach to learning. The profound instruction is all that more enriched by the highlighting of cross-over concepts between Aikido, Hsing-I, Ba Gua, and Tai Chi; and ultimately supports the claim that Aikido is an 'internal' art. Delivered in a conversational tone, Mr. Dockery displays a genuine love for the art of Aikido and his love of sharing, discussing, and collaborating with other Aikido enthusiasts. Written by and for those that root their martial arts study in Aikido, Mr. Dockery invites you to collaborate with the many others that have learned the "Aiki Secrets" and have begun extending this progressive approach to Aiki for themselves in the many martial arts they practice.
