Book Reviews of Tonfa: Karate Weapon of Self-Defense (Literary links to the Orient)

Book Review: A Classic Refernce Tool for Okinawan Weapons
Summary: 5 Stars

Sensei Demura's books are a must have for any traditonal martial artist, or anyone wishing to understand the true natue and application of traditional Okinawan Weapons.
It covers the basic grips, strikes, stances, and blocks with a basic kata (form) and even some self-defense applications.
The pictures are relatively easy to follow and each has a discription of the technique involved.
This series of weapons books from Demura Sensei is considered by many to be the classics of weapons texts. Although they are a little dated, and learning any weapon is easier from DVD or video, it is a great reference piece and a must have for any serious student of the martial arts and kobudo.
