...with Miguel Ibarra (Daito-ryu Yamabushi-kai) & Tony Annesi (Takeshin Aiki-ju-jutsu).
Do you find that your traditional aiki art emphasizes defenses against wrist and lapel holds that are more theoretical than practical? On the streets, a grab is followed rapidly by a punch with the other hand. A body hold proceeds from the rear so someone else can strike you! This 2-part DVD set illustrates defenses to both strikes and rear seizures. Included are techniques that have been tested in actual arrests (Sensei Ibarra is a New York warrant officer) as well as techniques that illustrate theoretical but practical training in minimal motion aiki.
I received the two video set Aiki for the Streets and I have viewed them each twice so far. You really do an awesome job explaining the "why" of the different waza. I really enjoyed the sections on strikes which, in my opinion, is how most street fights begin. As a matter of fact, every one of your video[videos] that I have purchased have been nothing short of enlightening. Your truly have a gift for explaining the different techniques and why they work. Moreover, your videos are much more informational both in quality and quantity as compared to [videos] from [other publishers].
