For the third consecutive year, this team of master instructors of aikido and shindo ryu karate collaborated to present an exceptional course at the 2007 Aikido Summer Camp in the Rockies.

Continuing with the theme of the previous two summer camp, "discovering the heart of budo", the instructors raised the bar for repeat attendees as they presented advanced "one point" applications.

As a viewer, you will be treated, front row center, to demonstrations of amazing timing, entering, balance-taking and pre-emptive engagement.

Highlights of the classes of each of the four shihan – approximately 25 minutes each.

On the DVD cover: Ze – brushed by Mitsugi Saotome shihan. Cover art by Troy Farrow. Ze symbolizes the quest to bring our movement and form into alignment with the evolving truth within ourselves, that we may find our heart, our own perfect movement, and through these, the heart of budo.
