Sogo Budo (Integrated Martial Arts) DVDs

A NEW DVD SERIES!

Tony Annesi's MASTER CLASSES

"Your promos often speak of "higher ed for the martial artist," but that's not accurate enough. After all, that phrase covers everything from freshman intro classes to postgraduate research. This new material is out there somewhere in the post-doctorate range…. You could say so, except that it hardly has the same advertising ring. The original Principles of Advanced Budo was great,…Comparative Aiki was excellent, still unrivaled and even uncopied. Methods on the Edge of Aiki was better still. The Master Class series is the best so far. This is so far beyond what I've seen elsewhere that it really defines a new class of instructional DVD for martial study. Here the teaching is essentialized as one would minimize action in practice. (Notice I speak here only of the aiki related material and address only the fraction of your catalog I know.)" --Dr. C.W. DeMarco, professor of philosophy


Back Pressure Hard & Soft Back Pressure

An Aiki term coined by Soke Don Angier (Yanagi-ryu), Back Pressure can be applied to any martial art. Hanshi Annesi uses examples from Aiki, Judo, Karate, and Seiken Budo to illustrate methods by which this subtl idea can add ease and power to commonly used techniques. (2 hours)

Trapping, Offensive and DefensiveUnified & Segmented Body Movement

Every martial art uses both unified and segmented body movement. But few students understand how and when to use either. With examples form aiki, karate, judo, and seiken budo, Hanshi Annesi leads the martial artist to a deeper understanding of these important concepts that make techniques both stronger and easier to apply.

The essence of Elbow Awareness is simple: pay attention to your own and your opponent's elbow. However, its applications are myriad in many different martial arts. Hanshi Annesi uses examples from Uechi, Isshin, Wing-chun, aiki, judo, and Seiken Budo to give a sense of the breadth of this fundamental concept. (2 hours)

Passing Hard & SoftPassing

Passing is an extension of Receiving and leads to Trapping. Use passing to move the opponent, to get to his opposite side, or to guide him into a strike or disadvantageous position. Using examples from Aiki, Karate, Judo and Seiken Budo, Hanshi Annesi illustrates siimple "hard" passes, hard-soft passes, and flowing soft passes that quickly reduce the opponent to a defensive state and increase the chances of controlling him.

Methods of Receiving: • Hard • Soft
Methods of Receiving

The proper Translation of "uke-waza" is not Blocking but Receiving. You may receive an attack by striking it, deflecting it, baiting it, or avoiding it altogether. The skill of your receiving technique determines the possibilities for your counter. Using examples from both Karate and Aiki, Hanshi Annesi explains the richness of this category of skills and its value in the serious study of advanced budo. (2 hours)

Aspects of Alignment: • Tactical • Technical
Aspects of Alignment

The study of Alignment has more variation and depth than is first apparent. The principle can apply to judo grips, facing a karate sparring partner, or arranging one's limbs to make an aiki throw easier. Using examples from judo, karate, aiki, and Takeshin Seiken Budo, Kyoshi Annesi explains the richness of this seemingly simple principle and its value in the serious study of advanced budo.

The Martial Use of WEIGHT CONTROL:

Weight Control

Often the three principal uses of body weight (dropping, shifting, and turning) are overlooked in martial arts study and yet the proper use of one's weight can make defense and counterattack efficient, powerful, and difficult to perceive. Using examples from Judo, Aiki, Karate and Seiken Budo, Kyoshi Tony Annesi details various ways to apply subtle weight changes so you can use them in your own art. (120 min.)

TRANSMUTATION

(NOW in our CLASSICS COLLECTION!)

3 DVDs, 5 hours

TRANSMUTATION (Part I)

Transmutation 1Hanshi Bruce Juchnik (Sei Kosho Shorei Kai) and Shihan Tony Annesi (Takeshin Sogo Budo) teach you how to unify the arts by showing that, with small adjustments, a Lock is a Block is a Blow is a Throw. Bruce Juchnik is known for his relaxed presentation of unusual concepts. Tony Annesi is known for his organized and clear analysis of techniques. With them, you'll move from style to style, from technical shape to technical shape to bring many martial arts into the same family. Learn how form varies not only according to function but also according to cultural preference. The differences in styles are not in effectiveness but in appearance and sometimes incidental detail. When you can transmute your favorite blow into a throw, you have soft within your hard style. When you can transmute your favorite lock into a block, you have hard within your soft style. (1.5 hours.)
AK-13, $39.00

TRANSMUTATION (Part II)

Transmutation 2Hanshi Juchnik on "always move twice" and "caging". Shihan Annesi on seeing advanced applications within basics. You will learn how to understand technical methods with "a masterís mind" by seeing beyond the surface form. Once you study principles (see PAB videos) and know how a technique works, you are then free to change its form while maintaining its essence. Even your most basic techniques hold within them advanced applications. Discover how! (1.5 hours)
AK-14, $39.00

TRANSMUTATION (Part III)

Transmutation 3Juchnik applies his concepts to the use of a blade. Annesi unifies the theme and transmutes advanced techniques back to basic ones. The circle comes around. As an experienced martial artist, you do not have to practice every one of your 10,000 variations to stay skilled. You continue practicing basics, but perceive them with "a master's mind". For you, the advanced becomes simple because it always resided in the basic. Now you can transmute the basic into the advanced at will.

MORE DETAILS

THE ROAD TO MASTERY (Part I)

Road to Mastery 1Travel with Willem deTHOUARS (Kuntao Silat), Bruce JUCHNIK (KoshoRyu), and Tony ANNESI (Takeshin Sogo Budo) as they show signposts on the technical journey toward Mastery. Your first signpost is, of course, Basics. But basics are more than they first appear. Even for a beginner, each art has a different concept of what basics should be. DeThouars and Juchnik discuss basics like perception and awareness while Annesi covers basics like stance and blocking stability. Not only must you master basics, you should also test them. Discover Shihan Annesi's unique way to test postural efficiency so you can improve your own. (2 hours)
AK-16, $39.00

THE ROAD TO MASTERY (Part II)

Road to Mastery 2Basics become Forms and Techniques. You have practiced many basics as self-defense. More often, however, basics transmute into the more complicated combinations you know as kata or waza. Even these contain more than meet the eye. Annesi's bunkai of Tensho kata, for example, illustrates a point made in his earlier Transmutation videos (see above) and Cracking the Kata Code videos (see karate videos), that any form, whether a kata or a waza can hold enormous meaning below its surface. Learn how a simple kata can have subtle application that can be lost upon even those who practice it regularly. (1.5 hours)
AK-17, $39.00

THE ROAD TO MASTERY (Part III)

Road to Mastery 3Form & Techniques produce Variation. For most students, improvement in the martial arts means adding to their list of techniques or variations. The more choices of techniques you have with which to respond to an attack, the better you are able to handle that attack. Variations are endless so it is logical that students perceive a large repertoire of variation as the pinnacle of martial development. This video suggests that Variation, although essential, is merely a stepping stone on your way toward mastery. (1.5 hours)
AK-18, $39.00

THE ROAD TO MASTERY (Part IV)

Road to Mastery 4Variations lead to Principles. Once you have accumulated myriad variations, you must have a way to organize them. Even the master's mind cannot work if clogged by a mile-long menu of technical choices. This is why the next signpost on the road to mastery is understanding how variations can be summarized into a relatively small group of Principles (genri). Different arts approach Principle in different ways; but, to master an art, you must go beyond the accumulation of concretes to the integration of concepts. New to the study of principles? Not after you experience this signpost.

THE ROAD TO MASTERY (Part V)

Road to Mastery 5The fundament of freedom: Everything is Budo. When you integrate both techniques and principles, you go beyond shape, form, or style. Not only do your trained actions become automatic, but your everyday actions become structured with the new intent of self-defense. You now can turn any motion into a lock, a block, a blow, or a throw. Because budo has become part of your life, your life can serve as the shape, style and method of your budo. Beyond the gate of traditional budo lies the Road to Mastery. At the pinnacle of mastery lies Banji-wa budo desu (Everything is budo). (2 hours)

INFERIOR SUPERIORITYGround Defense
GROUND DEFENSE: Avoid Grappling!

This is not about grappling. It is about AVOIDING GRAPPLING. Although grappling is an important combat skill, it is not suited for everyone. When you defend yourself, you do not spend more than a moment with one opponent unless absolutely necessary. Attackers know they can suddenly tackle and take down almost anyone! Now you will be able to fight back!

  • Know what to do if you are kneeling, sitting, or lying down as an attacker approaches.
  • Understand your options if he decides to rush you.
  • Plan your escape even if he has you pinned down.

Although there is no guaranteed escape from every assailant in every situation, GROUND DEFENSE will prepare you for self-protection from many disadvantageous positions. Down is NOT OUT! 2.5 hours

TAKESHIN SEIKEN BUDO

The SECRETS OF SEIKEN BUDO
an introduction to BUSHIDO-KAI's private,
in-house martial art

Learn how to "fill the gaps" that most karate and aiki studies leave blank. SEIKEN BUDO (Combined Fist Martial Way) addresses striking, standing grappling, ground grappling, and weaponry. It deals with 5 ranges from very close to very far. In this 3-DVD set, Shihan Tony Annesi, founder of the family of integrated martial arts known as TAKESHIN SOGO BUDO, teaches you to employ defenses to standard lunge punches to link the sections Seiken Budo to each other. You'll pass though X-receptions and leg-entangles inspired by Shorinji Tetsu-Kenpo and Hapkido. Then youíll close the gap with techniques modified from Wu-wei Kung-fu. Finally, youíll draw in the opponent moving only minimally to defend yourself. This video set is a great benefit for both soft and hard stylists who want to expand the capabilities of their art as they deal with several ranges.

At SEIKEN BUDO's nidan (2nd degree) level, the practitioners uses X- and Scissors-receptions following them with kicks and leg entangles. This is an extention of shodan work (see the introductory Secrets of Seiken Budo) based on Shihan Albert C. Church's Shorinji Tetsu Ken Ryu, a systematically taught overview where large, powerful motions gradually give way to mat grappling and still manage to pave the way for smaller, the more sublte standing techniques of sandan (see Attack-the-Atack Seiken) and yondan (see Minimal Motion Seiken).
