Minimal Motion Sogo Budo 3 ONLY $49

Using Karate, Aiki, & Seiken Budo basics to create an effective minimal motion self-defense, integrating hard and 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, more efficient, and often more functional technique.
