Product Description
Product Description
Unarmed Fighting Techniques of the Samurai explores the essence of various unarmed techniques unique to the Japanese martial arts, known as budo taijutsu. The techniques are highly specialized, and allow the practitioner to evade and receive an attack even from an opponent wielding a sword, enabling them to punch, kick and finally to lock or control the body of their opponent. Among the various techniques introduced are Kihon Happo (Eight Basic Movements), Kosshijutsu (Attacks against Muscles), Koppojutsu (Attacks against Bones), Jutaijutsu (Flexible Body Arts), Daken Taijutsu (Fist Punching and Striking), Ninpo Taijutsu (Bodily Arts of the Ninja). These renowned techniques have been secretly inherited through the various lineages of masters for more than a century. They became the basis of a range of other martial arts, including judo, karate and aikido and this book will thus enhance the reader's understanding of the roots of such martial arts, as well as enabling them to learn more practical fighting techniques. It also shines light on the essence of the spirit of Japanese budo and bushido, and includes many photographs of the techniques as well as rare drawings and previously hidden scrolls.
