Using Karate, Aiki, & Seiken Budo basics to create an effective minimal motion self-defense, integrating hard & soft.
Whether Hard or Soft, the more perfectly formed your art, the less
practical it is. However, that perfect form is necessary to create muscle memory and technique sequences. The more minimal your art, the more Practical it is, but Hard or Soft, that minimization must be trained.
In this series of Master Classes, Hanshi Annesi brings the Aiki & Karate
student to smaller and often
more functional technique.
