Advanced Stick Fighting

I love the books in this new series from this publisher. The pictures are beautiful and the information is deep. This particular book isn't chock full of waza like some of the others in this series, but it is full of philosophy.

Hatsumi really knows his stuff. His art is quite a tightening up of the principles of martial art; which is why so few people actually get his art.

Great book

A modern Densho of the art of the staff.

Very interesting book. A lot of good detail, and in sight. Any martial artist learning stick fighting of any kind will gain some really good knowledge from this book.

An excellent study guid! Highly recommended to any martial arts practitioners regardless of style.

Great book

Another excellent book from Soke.

The first book that i bought (chambers one ) was not bad at all and offered more.( with regards to locks and throwing etc i.e technical. perhaps what can be more higher level advanced techniques, perhaps we may refer to menkio(if thats how you spell it)okuden ,kaiden techniques which may actually seem simpler. say for example a strike to a vital point can end a confrontation on the spot almost like a sutemi rather than technical locks like in the first book.Stick fighting is a vicious art when done properly. The author is a renouned martial artist so really if we study what he has offered us we can only gain in knowledge.

This book gives a rather good impression on the stick fighting part of the Kukishinden school. One of the 9 schools of the Bujinkan. Beautiful b/w pictures and drawings, contributing to a sense of authenticity. This book is not an instruction book, however, some techniques are explained step by step in tekst.

Ich kenne sein erstes Buch zum Thema Hanbo. Das ist Ganz gut. Aber dieses Werk finde ich sehr schlecht. Kann ich niemanden empfehlen. Ausser den echten Hardcore Fans.

Illustrations are incomplete all you see is the beginning of a move than the end result

Das Buch, welches in englischer Sprache geschrieben ist, bildet einen hervorragenden Überblick des japanischen Stockkampfes. Die gezeigten Techniken sind auf deutlichen schwarz-weiß-Fotos dargestellt, denen lediglich eine Bildnummerierung fehlt. Nichts für Anfänger, aber hervorragend um sich über fortgeschrittene Techniken zu informieren.
