Detailed Martial Principles

Master classes are small, concise seminars intended to teach principles, concepts, and subtle skills seldom seen in the normal course of instruction. Some master classes concentrate on major principles like the martial use of weight control, the martial use of structuring, the wave, etc. and study them from an aiki, judo, and/or karate point of view. 

In the “Lexicon of Advanced Budo” series, Hanshi Annesi alphabetically categorizes the subjects like accumulated force, basing, or bridging and covers several of these mini-principles in each volume.

Testimonials

“Your promos often speak of “higher ed for the martial artist,” but that’s not accurate enough. After all, that phrase covers everything from freshman intro classes to postgraduate research. This new material is out there somewhere in the post-doctorate range…. You could say so, except that it hardly has the same advertising ring. The original Principles of Advanced Budo was great,…Comparative Aiki was excellent, still unrivaled and even uncopied. Methods on the Edge of Aiki was better still. The Master Class series is the best so far. This is so far beyond what I’ve seen elsewhere that it really defines a new class of instructional DVD for martial study. Here the teaching is essentialized as one would minimize action in practice. (Notice I speak here only of the aiki related material and address only the fraction of your catalog I know.)”

– Dr. C. W. DeMarco, professor of philosophy, Massachusetts

“Annesi’s instructional style is structured yet flexible, allowing for a deep exploration of concepts that are often overlooked in conventional training. His video[s are] divided into sections that methodically break down the principles of Budo, making complex ideas accessible to viewers. This structured approach is particularly beneficial for advanced martial artists who are looking to refine their understanding and application of these principles in their practice.”
