Mastering The Bo

Mastering The Bo

The bo is an excellent weapon but one of the more impractical ones because of its size. It is a piece of hard wood about six feet in length, and therefore cannot be easily concealed or carried in a car or on your person. Still, it has remained a favorite karate weapon for years because of its versatility and beauty when used in the hands of a master.

Complete Book Of One Steps

  Win fight in One Step

Since I began my martial arts training over 35 years ago. I have found that the one area 
that my students seemed to always have problems with was “one steps” (the formalized 
routines for self defense) required for all belt promotions. It seemed that the students
