ENGAGE THE OPPONENT WITH CONFIDENCE!
Sparring is not just point-fighting or brutality inside an octagon. The study of self-defense has to do with engagements from various distances and in various situations. Traditional martial arts are not about winning a prize but surviving a dangerous encounter and quickly and cleanly as possible.

SITUATIONAL SELF-DEFENSE
from Traditional Kata
Unexpected Applications from the Kata You Thought You Knew

Every karate-ka learns to defend against punches and kicks but karate was originally intended as a holistic self-defense skill. That means traditional training must have included self-defense against lapel grab, front neck choke, rear wrist holds, rear chokes, rear body holds, hammer locks, etc. Shihan Annesi reveals these defenses and more, all from the traditional kata you thought you knew!
