Testimonials
Sensei Annesi's students are of a high caliber. The seniors show excellent technique and attitude, while the juniors are more advanced than typical for their rank. The teaching methods are comprehensive and intelligent and the techniques and kata taught are solid and useful. Much thought has gone into selecting and developing them.
- Ken Kirk, 1st dan Tae Kwon Do, Los Angeles, California
After having trained with Tony Annesi and been on the receiving end of his techniques, I can testify to the expertise with which he performs his art of Aiki-ju-jutsu. His techniques are precise, powerful and controlled as well as being aesthetically pleasing, and the relaxed manner in which he executes them bears witness to his mastery of the arts.
- Kirby Watson, Kaze-Arashi Ryu, Auchterarder, Scotland
I have really enjoyed Aiki Large & Small as well as your other tapes. I think I have a complete set, as well as Cracking the Kata Code. I think that your teaching material is the best on the market and look forward to future releases.

Mastery is the uniqueness and strength or your entire videos series. You have the largest collection of true masters, from Wally Jay to Guru Willem deThouars.... The whole series is about masters and mastery!

The tapes that I have evaluated [are] Outstanding.
-David K. James: Okinawa
After three years of Aikido training in college, I purchased my first Bushido-Kai videos, The Principles of Aiki, Parts I & II. I was instantly blown away by the detail of the instruction! This was exactly what was missing in my training. Over the following weeks, not only did my physical skills improve dramatically, but I also began to understand WHY the techniques worked. The principles on those tapes - and all the tapes I've bought since - have greatly enhanced my training. Armed with this new knowledge of underlying principles has made it easier to remember material, and has given me the ability to execute new techniques rather quickly because I can now recognize what makes them effective. Your innovative apporach to martial arts instruction has also helped me see the similarities between various martial disciplines. Without your videos, I would have still been training blindly, trying to learn everything literally and realizing only limited progress. Now I realize that the "try to learn everything" approach is unrealistic and unnecessary. I believe that anyone - regardless of martial experience or style - can greatly benefit from your videotapes. They are a goldmine of knowledge and a great source of training ideas. Your willingness to share your extensive knowledge with the general public is a rare quality. When people ask me to recommend quality martial arts videos, yours are the first that come to mind. Thank you for producing such quality videos. I look forward to all of your future releases.
