Step-by-step instructions and over 300 photographs allow the trainee to follow and learn the techniques with ease.
The ideal weapon for self-defense is a stick. To find a comprehensive system of techniques using the stick, we must turn to the East, for systems known to the West have fallen into disuse. In this book, the techniques of Kukishin Ryƫ an ancient Japanese method have been updated and adapted for use today. A thorough grounding in the fundamentals dealt with here will enable you to disarm and control any assailant.

Fantastic review:
This book provides the best written descriptions of Kukkishin Ryu kata. The photos are well done from many angles. The translation work is first rate. I cannot recommend the book enough.
Positive experience:
I found this book to be informative in the art of stick fighting. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning this skill.
stick fighting: techniques of self-defense (bushido--the way of the warrior):
I'm just a beginner with the hanbo; will use to learn more. Looks straight forward and the pics enable you to see exactly what to do.
Must have item for Bujin Kan practitioners:
One of the first English books by Soke.
Basic technics are presented in a clear and simple way.
When followed by a traing from a certified Bujin-Kan instructor, its an important complementary information.
I just love it.
