With Miguel Ibarra (Daito-ryu Yamabushi-kai) & Tony Annesi (Takeshin Aiki-ju-jutsu).

Do you find that your traditional aiki art emphasizes defenses against wrist and lapel holds that are more theoretical than practical? On the streets, a grab is followed rapidly by a punch with the other hand. A body hold proceeds from the rear so someone else can strike you! This 2-part DVD set illustrates defenses to both strikes and rear seizures. Included are techniques that have been tested in actual arrests (Sensei Ibarra is a New York warrant officer) as well as techniques that illustrate theoretical but practical training in minimal motion aiki.
