Goshinjutsu - Paperback

by Junzo Hirose (Author)

Today, if you ask a martial arts practitioner why they first began training, you may legitimately get replies that range from "for fun" to "for fitness." If you could go back in time twenty or so years, the guarded reply to that question may have been "for confidence." But if you asked the same question to the straight-talking martial artists of the 1950s, the unapologetic answer would invariably be, "for self-defense." And fun, fitness, health, competition, confidence, and all else notwithstanding, the principal reason for training in martial arts today is still for self-defense. This book shows you how it's done.
