COMPARATIVE AIKI IN ACTION 

What would it be like if you had a repertoire of aiki techniques that mutiplied your current knowledge 

exponentially? Why does each style claim to have “the right way,” but no style does it the same way?

lead to the other? If you are interested in expanding your aiki knowledge, you have picked the right book. 

Over 10 years in the writing with over 700 studio photographs by Toby Threadgill. Shihan Tony Annesi

THE ROAD TO MASTERY — Benefits of Budo 

You have heard time and again that the study of the martial arts can lead to many levels of personal 

improvement. Now, you can find out how! In this ambitious treatment of the non-physical and sometimes 

non-conscious teachings offered by traditional martial arts instruction, Tony Annesi outlines the essence 

of self-development as it leads to the higher level of awareness and achievement known as “Mastery.” 

Students who approach Mastery actually travel two roads, one physical and the other conceptual, passing 

by five signposts on their climb up the mountain. Their physical skills hold hidden conceptual lessons and 

their mental development sometimes reveals reveals spiritual lessons. Beyond the gates of traditional budo 

lies the Road to Mastery. This is your guidebook. Newly revised text, layout, and cover. Velo-bound. 190 

pages. RtM bk: ONLY $35.00 postpaid

ELEVATED ELEMENTALS — Kihon as Okuden 

Whether your martial art is a “hard-fist” art like karate or “soft-fist” like aiki, you begin with basics. 

And, if you are like most students, you can’t wait until you learn advanced techniques. Surprise! You 

already have! Tony Annesi guides you through a course in recognizeing higher level skills hidden in 

both karate and aiki basics. Kihon (basics) is Okuden (advanced teachings) when you understand the 

intricacies of Elevated Elementals. Velo-bound 163 pages, EE bk: ONLY $30.00 postpaid

EXPRESSING THE BUDO — Traditional Budo Dictionary 

Don’t look for “gi” or “tsuki.” This dictionary is for more inquiring minds. Interested in subtler 

concepts? You have come to the right place. A four-part (Japanese to English, English to Japanese 

alphabetically and by subject) Japanese Budo Dictionary with essays to stimulate further thought. 

Newly revised text, layout, and cover. Velo-bound 139 pages, EtB bk: ONLY $25.00 postpaid 

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

SUDDEN ATTACK DEFENSE —Traditional Ippon Kumite For the Real World 

In most schools of karate, one-step sparring is taught as a gradual introduction to freestyle sparring. 

In reality, freestyle has very little in common with one-step sparring and less with self-defense. The 

Okinawan masters knew that one-step sparring was the way to apply what was learned in kata. Now 

you can learn what the masters knew! By varying your one-step sparring practice you learn to react 

to unexpected attacks. The augmentation of one-step sparring creates an ascending hierarchy to the 

more realistic drills of SAD (Sudden Attack Defense) and CAD (Combat Attack Defense). This book 

is about that ascension. Teachers can enhance their students capabilities by using this information to 

augment existing one-step sparring drills. The Sudden Attack Defense method creates an ascending 

hierarchy to the more realistic drills of SAD (Sudden Attack Defense) and CAD (Combat Attack 

Defense). Velo-bound 176 pages. Approx. 300 photos, SAD bk: ONLY $35.00 postpaid 

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

TALES of the DOJO — LifeLessons from the Martial Arts 

If you were lectured on the benefits of budo, it might sound like your boring old Civics teacher. 

You just might shut your listening aparatus. But, if Sensei starts talking about his past experiences, 

students start gathering around. Gather around! There are subtle lessons to be learned. And the teaching 

is not only painless, it is actually enjoyable. From the well-known articles originally published in 

KICK and INISIDE KARATE, Tony Annesi offers stories from his dojo files that integrate budo with 

daily life and daily life with self-development. 

Velo-bound 186 pages. 10 Illustrations, ToD bk: ONLY $35.00 postpaid 

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

The DOJO FILES — Martial Arts Lessons from Life 

In this sequel to Tales of the Dojo, Tony Annesi inverts the intent: instead of LifeLessons from the 

Martial Arts, he draws Martial Arts Lessons from from unexpected true life sources, many his own 

experiences. The dojo files yield never before published stories that take you out of the dojo and into 

real life. These are not adventures nor stories about street encournters. They are about simple, daily 

ocurences we often take for granted. They hold unexpected truths that integrate budo with daily 

life...and daily life with self-development.

Aiki-Ju-Jutsu DVDs 

Nine Masters of Ju-Jutsu & Aiki-ju-jutsu 

NINE MASTERS 1: Wally Jay and Joe Cowles at BUSHIDO-KAI 

Prof. JAY’s favorite video of his small-circle ju-jutsu. Discover why Wally Jay is 

known as a master who can perform ju-jutsu with effortless grace using simple techniques that 

approach an aiki-type of application. Discover how Prof. Jay uses his own investigations to 

constantly upgrade and modify traditional techniques so that they cease to look traditional. 

Bruce Lee and ju-jutsu? Learn how Joe COWLES, a Seattle student of Bruce Lee, teaches his 

WU WEI Gung-fu, a hard/soft system with added ju-jutsu techniques. Cowles’ Wu Wei was 

a strong influence on one level of Takeshin Seiken Budo (see our Secrets of Seiken Budo and 

Attack-the-Attack Seiken Budo videos). Cowles is masterful in lightening execution of in-close 

techniques. (1 DVD 120 min.) J-1, $69.00 

NINE MASTERS 2: Shihan Roland Maroteaux of France 

New to aiki or coming from a karate background? The Voltaire of the Martial Arts 

teaches his powerful art of AIKI-GOSHINDO developed from a study of Hakkoryu, Aikido, and 

older techniques of ju-jutsu and Daito-ryu. A perfect video for karate-ka who want a introduction 

to the forms of aiki. Maroteaux has picture-perfect form and receives attacks with powerful 

blocks before snapping on his aiki-ju-jutsu waza. Maroteaux’s aiki would be considered hard, 

powerful and effective by those who prefer an explosive karate method of self-defense. 

(1 DVD, 90 min.) A-2, $59.00 

NINE MASTERS 3: Soke Don Angier — Inheritor of YANAGI RYU 

Soke Angier’s art is from the Yoshida clan—a family art that contains Aiki, Ken-jutsu, 

and Hojo-jutsu (binding arts). Experience detailed Aiki with additional bonus of Ken-jutsu etiquette 

and waza. Soke Angier puts little or no effort in his waza; instead, all his effort has been 

put into perfecting its soft but effective execution. In this video, he teaches you how to do the 

same with basic techniques from Yanagi-ryu. At first, they appear to be like many aiki-styles; 

however, perfecting their effortless execution make them a true challenge to experienced aiki 

practitioners. (1 DVD, 120 min.) A-3, $69.00 

NINE MASTERS 4: American Masters of 5 Aiki Arts 

Don ANGIER, Yanagi Ryu; Dennis PALUMBO, Hakkoryu; Tony ANNESI, Takeshin 

Sogo Budo; Henri-Robert. VILAIRE, Kaze Arashi Ryu; Miguel IBARRA & Roy GOLDBERG, 

Icho-yama Ryu span the range from hard to soft with instructional methods from technical imitation 

to detailed explanation. With Master Vilaire you will use kempo-like blocks to enter into 

powerful and painful waza. With Sensei Ibarra and Goldberg you use pain but over a shorter 

range of motion. Sandai-kichu Palumbo offers you more conservative technique explained 

with detail and humor. Shihan Annesi instructs you in his minimal motion waza with lucid 

explanations. Soke Angier, the most senior and probably the most skilled Aiki practitioner in 

the country, treats you to nearly invisible execution. There is no better video available today to 

sample the array of aiki-ju-jutsu styles and emphases. (1 DVD, 120 min.) A-4, $69.00

The Principles of Aiki 

Tired of having haphazard success with your throwing and locking? It may be 

because you are imitating your teacher’s good form without understanding what makes that 

form work. Soke Don ANGIER and Shihan Tony ANNESI take form a step further. Form, 

Annesi argues, is a way of “tricking” a student into doing something right. It is a classical 

shape that illustrates an underlying principle. If you don’t understand the principle, you’ll 

be locked into a form without meaning. Many aiki students have good form, but produce 

varying success in their throwing and locking. YOU MAY BE ONE OF THEM. By mastering 

the principles underlying the forms, you can find technical success even when using 

dramatically different technical forms. Style is less important than principle. The rational 

West can sometimes explain more clearly what the intuitive East has discovered. Once you 

know the principles on which a technique is based, you can easily make adjustments in your 

own methods and see validity in others. Experience a rush of revelation once your master 

TRIANGULATION, BACK PRESSURE, COMMUTIVE LOCKING and a dozen others!

Aiki for the Streets 

...with Miguel Ibarra (Daito-ryu Yamabushi-kai) & Tony Annesi (Takeshin Aiki-jujutsu). 

Do you find that your traditional aiki art emphasizes defenses against wrist and lapel 

holds that are more theoretical than practical? On the streets, a grab is followed rapidly by a 

punch. A body hold proceeds from the rear so someone else can strike! This 2-part video set 

illustrates defenses to both strikes and rear seizures. Included are techniques that have been 

tested in actual arrests (Sensei Ibarra is a New York warrant officer) as well as techniques 

that illustrate theoretical but practical training in minimal motion aiki.

Comparative Aiki in Action 

10+ years research went into this material. Over the years, martial artists have become 

interested in adopting some concepts of aiki into their own styles. Aiki-based martial artists 

are coming out of their stylistic cocoons and are interested in comparisons between teaching 

methods. Enter Comparative Aiki in Action. 

COMPARATIVE AIKI IN ACTION (Part I) 

Different technical points of view of standard aiki techniques. Preliminaries and 15 Ikkyo 

with evaluations of efficacy. What makes one version of a technique more or less functional 

than another? Tony Annesi suggests that there are no superior styles, rather various technical 

methods work best in various situations. This may not seem like a grand revelation, but to 

martial artists who often want to believe that their style addresses all situations better than 

any other style, that admission is at least refreshing if not downright iconoclastic. 

(1 DVD, 90 min.) A-7, $59.00 

COMPARATIVE AIKI IN ACTION (Part II) 

15 Nikyo, 9 Sankyo with evaluations of efficacy. Annesi admits that his choice of 

variations are not complete, and his evaluations are not sacrosanct, but he also suggests that 

without an honest attempt at an objective investigation of methods, we will never really 

know what works best for us, what works best in what situation, nor will we understand the 

difference between an excellent training technique and one meant for actually application. 

(1 DVD, 90 min.) A-8, $59.00 

COMPARATIVE AIKI IN ACTION (Part III) 

8 Yonkyo, 13 Kote Gaeshi. Evaluations of efficacy from Tony Annesi. Among the least 

streetworthy techniques in yonkyo, yet it is also among the most painful. How can this be? 

Among the most used techniques in self-defense is Kote Gaeshi, but it also has some of the 

most elongated and indirect entries. How can it be functional if it takes so long to apply? 

That depends on ones intended use and the situation of the moment. 

(1 DVD, 90 min.) A-9, $59.00 

COMPARATIVE AIKI IN ACTION (Part IV) 

7 Katate Osae; 4 directions and 6 irimi entry for Shiho Nage with evaluations of efficacy. 

Shihan Tony Annesi not only shows the Four Direction Throw to all compass points, he also 

evaluates various commonly used entries. Katate Osae (single hand press) is a technique in 

itself but can also be used as an excellent transition technique to Shiho Nage. 

(1 DVD, 120 min.) A-10, $59.00 

COMPARATIVE AIKI IN ACTION (Part V) 

11 finishes for Shiho Nage; 4 set-ups, 11 variations of Te Hana (inverted Kote Gaeshi). 

Shihan Tony Annesi illustrates methods to terminate the popular 4 Direction Throw even 

when one has failed to properly off-balance the uke. The inverted version of Kote Gaeshi 

makes a total of 25 variations for this much used waza. We strongly suggest purchasing A-10 

and A-11 together for a complete picture of both Kote Gaeshi and Shiho Nage. 

(1 DVD, 90 min.) A-11, $59.00 

COMPARATIVE AIKI IN ACTION (Part VI) 

11 Osaekomi (holddowns); once you take the opponent down, you must have a dependable 

method by which to secure him. 7 Yubi Waza (finger techniques) to add painful variations 

to already mastered techniques. Also: a Bonus Section featuring 5 Tenbin Nage (a.k.a. 

Ude Kime Nage) and 6 Irimi Nage (entering throw). (1 DVD, 90 min.) A-12, $59.00

vols.), and Methods on the Edge of Aiki (4 vols.). 1 DVD (2.5 hours) SSA-1, $39.00 

Methods on the Edge of Aiki Plus 

AIKI, LARGE & SMALL 

Are you doing a true Aiki? Or an Aiki by name only? Tony Annesi (Takeshin 

Aiki-ju-jutsu) demonstrates various methods of applying techniques identifiable as aiki, 

from large and fluid to medial circle to near invisible minimal motion. “Aiki,” as often used 

by Daito practitioners, is more than ju-jutsu with a hakama, more than hard aikido, more 

than even an historical link to the parent art; “Aiki” is tori’s minimal motion with uke’s 

unwilling maximal compliance. Commentaries and discussions by Roy Goldberg (Daito-ryu 

Kodo-kai). 1 DVD, 1.5 hrs. A-21, $59.00 

THE THREE LEVELS OF AIKI 

What “level” of Aiki skill is emphasized by your system? Tony Annesi (Takeshin 

Aiki-ju-jutsu) demonstrates ju-jutsu, ju-jutsu with an aiki format, aiki-ju-jutsu, and the rarely 

seen and difficult level known as “aiki.” Most ju-jutsu students have a hard, fast and very 

effective form of self-defense. Then, to become more efficient, they investigate aikido or 

aiki-jujutsu. What they often end up with is either ju-jutsu that looks like aikido or a large, 

fluid, and less effective method. Both ju-jutsu and aikido can be both effective and soft, both 

fluid and efficient if you are aware of the levels of development outlined in this video. 

Commentaries and discussions by Roy Goldberg (Daito-ryu Kodo-kai). 1 DVD, 1.75 hrs.

THE EDGE OF AIKI 

Tony Annesi (Takeshin Aiki-ju-jutsu) demonstrates the many forms that Aiki 

variations can take. Annesi reveals three categories of variations: Simple Variations, Contraction 

(illustrated by Minimal Motion techniques), and Expansion (illustrated by coiling 

or entangling technique). This fast moving, action-packed video explains how you can make 

one technique become hundreds with variations on the Edge of Aiki. Commentaries and 

discussions by Roy Goldberg (Daito-ryu Kodo-kai). 1 DVD, 2 hrs. A-37, $69.00 

AIKI, HARD & SOFT 

You know the difference between a hard and soft art, right? Now you can understand 

the subtleties of hard and soft within your own art! Does hard and soft refer to your 

effort or your effects on the receiver? Does hard and soft refer to striking or not-striking 

or the type of energy used? Rather than offering a solution, Tony Annesi (Takeshin Aiki 

Ju-jutsu) suggests fascinating options to consider. More variation exists even in the Aiki arts 

than Hard & Soft can accurately encompass. 1 DVD, 1.5 hrs. A-42, $59.00

SECRET STRIKES: The Hidden Atemi of Aiki

teachers will show students the suki or openings where a punch 

or kick could be inserted. These strikes are then considered hidden 

weapons to be unsheathed when the opponent is not as cooperative or 

spiritually swayed as the student would like him to be. Suki are part 

of this “Secret Strikes” DVD, to be sure, but there are two other parts, 

non-traditional in nature yet part of the Takeshin Aiki system existing 

under the rubric “Secret Strikes”: Shaping the Strike and Striking by 

Shape. These are unique to the Takeshin system.

CRACKING THE KATA CODE: 

The Foundation of Advanced Kata Study 

3 DVDs, 6 hours 

These videos are NOT style-specific. Any practitioner can learn how to benefit more from 

their studies by viewing CRACKING THE KATA CODE, The Foundation of Advanced Kata 

Study. (See next entry for videos detailing the Takeshin method of kata performance & 

analysis.) 

Cracking the KATA Code 1: Igata & Kata 

You know your kata, but do you know how to fully understand them? 

From the ground-breaking book of the same name (see book section), Shihan 

Tony Annesi reveals how kata is misunderstood by most practitioners, both 

modern eclecticists and traditionalists. There are two ideographs for kata. 

One implies a rigid mold, the other suggests a general shape — “the mold 

filled with gelatin.” As a beginner you were instructed to follow the rigid 

mold, but did you learn how that rigidity becomes softened by interpretation 

and personal sensibilities in more senior practice? Annesi offers the details 

of a 3-tier approach to kata study. Chojun Miyagi said, “Kata are not simply 

an exhibition of form; they are concrete manifestations of techniques that can 

be transformed at any time to any form at will and in which the essence of 

karate has assumed a definite form.” 1 DVD (2 hrs) K-29, $69.00 

Cracking the KATA Code 2: Types & Modes of Bunkai 

Are you the unusual student who can see beyond the surface? Bunkai 

means sample, example, or analysis. A method of analysis that reveals unexpected 

techniques and principles is the subject of this and the next video. 

Sometimes bunkai reveals overt oyo (applications) but, in other cases, these 

oyo are intentionally indistinct, even barely suggested. Kata are like great 

books -- what they offer is obvious, but there are multiple layers of meaning 

that only a talented teacher or student can reveal. 

1 DVD (2 hrs) K-30, $69.00 

Cracking the KATA Code 3: 10 Tips of Analyzing Kata 

Test your interpretive talents. Shihan Annesi suggests 10 simple 

guidelines that can help martial artists get the most from their kata study. 

He uses an unusual kata, Aragaki Unsu, to demonstrate the ideas previously 

taught. Both students and Shihan Annesi contribute to the possible interpretation 

of the material covered, exemplifying an approach both very traditional 

and simultaneously ground-breaking. 1 DVD (2 hrs) K-31, $69.00

TAKESHIN Karate-do KANKU-DAI 

Among the longest forms in the Shotokan, Shito, Shorin and Tang Soo Do systems, 

Kanku-dai is surpassed in length only by the kata Gojushiho and Goju’s Suparinpe. 

Kanku-dai is the essence of the Heian Kata put together; indeed, some say that it was the 

prime source of all the Heian kata. In this fascinating form, there are many hidden 

throws, takedowns, locks, escapes and subtle, effortlessly executed techniques. 

2 DVDs (3 hrs) KKD, $79.00 

TAKESHIN Karate-do BASSAI-DAI 

There are actually 11 traditional versions of Bassai. Like Kanku-dai, it uses 

(or is the source of) many of the techniques shown in the Heian kata. We show four 

versions of Bassai but, more importantly, we spend the lion’s share of the video on 

oyo (application): hidden throws, takedowns and especially arm locks.

FUNAKOSHI’S 9 THROWS 

There were actually more than nine.... Gichin Funakoshi and his senior student 

Shigeru Egami both advocated throwing in karate. In fact it was Funakoshi, when first 

settled in Japan, who taught Jigoro Kano, the founder of Judo, throws that Funakoshi had 

learned in Okinawan Karate. In Funakoshi’s Karate-do Kyohan, he outlined 9 throws that 

have become the basis of Takeshin Karate-do’s shodan requirements. In this unique program, 

Shihan Tony Annesi demonstrates the harder, more direct “karate” versions of 

the waza and then shows Takeshin’s modified “aiki” versions as applied in a one-step 

sparring format. A video that will be enjoyed by both Karate and Aiki students.

INNOVATIVE TRADITIONALISM! 

SUDDEN ATTACK DEFENSE DVD Set 

You’ve never seen one-step sparring like this! Not fancy, not complex, 

just functional! 

Standard Traditional Ippon Kumite (Embu Kumite) prepares one for 

a face-to-face street attack. What if the opponent does not attack face-toface? 

What if he does not use a head-high lunge punch? And, what does 

one-step sparring lead to if not freestyle sparring? The Okinawan masters 

knew that one-step sparring was a way to apply basics learned in kata. A 

variety of sparring drills help you react to unexpected attacks. By learning 

a logical, incremental set of one-step drills, you prepare for real sudden 

attack. Few students or teachers realize the depth to which the one-step 

exercises can go. This 3-part video series starts with traditional practices, 

troubleshoots them, and gradually adds variations until unexpected but 

nonetheless realistic drills emerge: Touch-Pass, SAD (Sudden Attack Defense), 

and CAD (Combat Attack Defense.) This video series allows you to 

bridge the gap between the master’s teachings and self-defense in today’s 

world. 3 DVDs (5.5 hours) SADvs, $139.00

TENSHO, HAKUCHO, PAPUREN: The Aiki of Karate 

Many karate arts claim to start hard and develop soft skills at an 

advanced level. What turns out to be soft instruction (if any) is a few 

lessons in joint locks that has little or nothing to do with traditional kata. 

This double-video set is a unique approach to three traditional kata from 

Goju and White Crane that are overtly sought but seldom studied for the 

oyo (applications). 

You will learn each form, its stances and individual hand techniques 

and then Master Instructor Annesi will add “the Takeshin element” 

before revealing dozens of applications, some direct, but most 

subtle, fluid, and using energy that is somewhere between internal 

Chinese martial arts and traditional Japanese aiki.

KARATE ENGAGEMENTS Set 

(K45, KNW10, AK41) 

You do not always interact with an opponent from one-step sparring distance. Sometimes you are inflighting, 

sometimes you are at throwing distance and sometimes you are in danger of grappling. Want to deal with these 

ranges using raditional techniques and concepts? 3 DVDs, 6.5 hours, KES, $99.00 


SITUATIONAL SELF-DEFENSE from Traditional Kata 

Every karate-ka learns to defend against punches and kicks but karate was 

originally intended as a holistic self-defense skill. That means traditional training 

must have included self-defense against lapel grab, front neck choke, rear wrist 

holds, rear chokes, rear body holds, hammer locks, etc. Shihan Annesi reveals these 

defenses and more, all from the traditional kata you thought you knew! 

1 DVD (2 hours, 30 min.) K-47, $79.00 

HIDDEN JOINT JOLTS from Traditional Kata: Heian 1, 2, 3. 

The blocks and punches are obvious. Sometimes the overt arm locks 

stick out like a sore elbow; but what about the subtle, quick, debilitating jolts 

to knees and elbows that are so easy to ignore when investigating kata bunkai? 

Here they are, clearly instructed and drawn from the kata you thought you 

knew. 1 DVD (2 hours, 30 min.) K-48, $79.00

HIDDEN THROWS & TAKEDOWNS from Kata 

Sweeps, wedges and spins are the dominant types of throws emphasized in most kata 

but hidden from plain sght. When you picture yourself blocking or punching, you could actually 

be dumping the opponent on his backside and finishing him off with a kick or armlock 

also hidden in the kata. 3 DVDs (4 hours, 20 min.) K-HTT-1, $129.00

TRANSMUTATION 


TRANSMUTATION (Part I) 

Hanshi Bruce Juchnik (Sei Kosho Shorei Kai) and Shihan Tony Annesi (Takeshin 

Sogo Budo) teach you how to unify the arts by showing that, with small adjustments, a 

Lock is a Block is a Blow is a Throw. Bruce Juchnik is known for his relaxed presentation 

of unusual concepts. Tony Annesi is known for his organized and clear analysis of techniques. 

With them, you’ll move from style to style, from technical shape to technical shape 

to bring many martial arts into the same family. Learn how form varies not only according 

to function, but also according to cultural preference. The differences in styles are not in 

effectiveness, but in appearance and sometimes incidental detail. When you can transmute 

your favorite blow into a throw, you have soft within your hard style. When you can 

transmute your favorite lock into a block, you have hard within your soft style. (1 DVD, 90 

min.) AK-13, $59.00 

TRANSMUTATION (Part II) 

Hanshi Juchnik on “always move twice” and “caging.” Shihan Annesi on seeing 

advanced applications within basics. You will learn how to understand technical methods 

with “a master’s mind” by seeing beyond the surface form. Once you study principles 

(see PAB videos) and know how a technique works, you are then free to change its form 

while maintaining its essence. Even your most basic techniques hold within them advanced 

applications. Discover how! (1 DVD, 90 min.) AK-14, $59.00 

TRANSMUTATION (Part III) 

Juchnik applies his concepts to the use of a blade. Annesi unifies the theme and 

transmutes advanced techniques back to basic ones. The circle comes around. As an 

experienced martial artist, you do not have to practice every one of your 10,000 variations 

to stay skilled. You continue practicing basics, but perceive them with “a master’s mind”. 

For you, the advanced becomes simple because it always resided in the basic. Now you can 

transmute the basic into the advanced at will. (1 DVD, 120 min.) AK-15, $69.00

THE ROAD TO MASTERY 


THE ROAD TO MASTERY (Part I) Travel with Willem deTHOUARS (Kuntao 

Silat), Bruce JUCHNIK (KoshoRyu), and Tony ANNESI (Takeshin Sogo Budo) as they show 

signposts on the technical journey toward Mastery. Your first signpost is, of course, Basics. But 

basics are more than they first appear. Even for a beginner, each art has a different concept of 

what basics should be. DeThouars and Juchnik discuss basics like perception and awareness 

while Annesi covers basics like stance and blocking stability. Not only must you master basics, 

you should also test them. Discover Shihan Annesi’s unique way to test postural efficiency so 

you can improve your own. (1 DVD, 120 min.) AK-16, $69.00 

THE ROAD TO MASTERY (Part II) Basics become Forms and Techniques. You 

have practiced many basics as self-defense. More often, however, basics transmute into the 

more complicated combinations you know as kata or waza. Even these contain more than 

meets the eye. Annesi’s bunkai of Tensho kata, for example, illustrates a point made in his 

earlier Transmutation (see above) and Cracking the Kata Code videos (see karate videos), 

that any form, whether a kata or a waza can hold enormous meaning below its surface. Learn 

how a simple kata can have subtle application that can be lost upon even those who practice it 

regularly. (1 DVD, 90 min.) AK-17, $59.00 

THE ROAD TO MASTERY (Part III) Form & Techniques produce Variation. For 

most students, improvement in the martial arts means adding to their list of techniques or 

variations. The more choices of techniques you have with which to respond to an attack, the 

better you are able to handle that attack. Variations are endless so it is logical that students 

perceive a large repertoire of variation as the pinnacle of martial development. This video 

suggests that Variation, although essential, is merely a stepping stone on your way toward 

mastery. (1 DVD, 90 min.) AK-18, $59.00 

THE ROAD TO MASTERY (Part IV) Variations lead to Principles. Once you have 

accumulated myriad variations, you must have a way to organize them. Even the master’s 

mind cannot work if clogged by a mile-long menu of technical choices. This is why the next 

signpost on the road to mastery is understanding how variations can be summarized into a 

relatively small group of principles (genri). Different arts approach Principle in different 

ways; but, to master an art, you must go beyond the accumulation of concretes to the integration 

of concepts. New to the study of principles? Not after you experience this signpost. 

(1 DVD, 120 min.) AK-19, $69.00 

THE ROAD TO MASTERY (Part V) The fundament of freedom: Everything is 

Budo. When you integrate both techniques and principles, you go beyond shape, form, or 

style. Not only do your trained actions become automatic, but your everyday actions become 

structured with the new intent of self-defense. You now can turn any motion into a lock, a 

block, a blow, or a throw. Because budo has become part of your life, your life can serve as 

the shape, style and method of your budo. Beyond the gate of traditional budo lies the 

Road to Mastery. At the pinnacle of mastery lies Banji-wa budo desu (Everything is 

budo). (1 DVD, 120 min.) AK-20, $69.00

THE SCIENCE OF SOGO BUDO 

The Past and Future of Traditionalism 


Science of Sogo Budo 1 Ian Cyrus (inheritor of Choson-Do), Tony Annesi (Takeshin Sogo 

Budo) and Brian Wilkes (Seishi-ryu Sogo Budo) illustrate how to recognize your art for what it 

really is and really can be. Find out how to integrate hard and soft, large and small, striking, and 

locking methods without doing a disservice to your chosen martial art. Learn the 5 methods to 

“sogo-ize” your art, understand technical skills from an historical point of view, and discover 

why “style” is a necessary limitation that masters go beyond. Witness thought-provoking 

viewpoints and beautifully conjoined techniques (from aiki, karate, Korean arts, Japanese 

sword, Chinese internal arts and others) — enough to keep you, the thinking martial artist, 

viewing this DVD set again and again. In Part 1, Shihan Annesi illustrates how a basic hook 

block can be used as a lock, a blow, or a throw; Kwang-jang (stylistic head) Ian Cyrus continues 

the theme, integrating Annesi’s movements with techniques from his own art; and Brian 

Wilkes relates the theme to the Japanese sword. (1 DVD, 1.75 hrs.) AK-22, $69.00 

Science of Sogo Budo 2 Annesi continues the sword analogy; Cyrus adds striking and 

kicking to the theme, and Wilkes completes his historical perspective. 

(1 DVD, 2 hrs.) AK-23, $69.00 

Science of Sogo Budo 3 Annesi and Cyrus both discuss the concept of “styles,” conclude the 

5 principles of integration and relate them to various stylistic techniques.

The CHINESE (MARTIAL) CONNECTION 

The Legacy of the Middle Kingdom 


Chinese (Martial) Connection 1 Roberto Torres (Pencak Silat Perisai Setia), Ian Cyrus 

(Choson-Do), and Tony Annesi (Takeshin Sogo Budo) investigate the history of technique 

transmission throughout Asia. Sound a little to academic? Hardly! In part I, Guru Roberto 

Torres explains the Chinese origins of the Indonesian arts and illustrates the distinction between 

Pencak (Pentjak) and Silat with a fascinating series of avoidances, strikes, and takedowns. 

Kwang-jang Ian Cyrus relates his knowledge of Pa-kua (Ba-gwa) and its connection to other 

arts with techniques that approach at unusual angles. (1 DVD, 2 hrs.) AK-25, $69.00 

Chinese (Martial) Connection 2 Shihan Tony Annesi shows a simple version of the 

Hakucho kata, relates it historically to China and then shows applications that look like aiki! 

Guru Torres relates entries and basic Jurus (forms) of the Indonesian arts to the previous material. 

(1 DVD, 1.75 hrs.) AK-26, $69.00 

Chinese (Martial) Connection 3 Kwang-jang Cyrus introduces concepts of Chinese medicine 

and shows a Resuscitation “kata.” Guru Torres introduces Indonesian grappling. Shihan Annesi 

relates previously seen techniques to the opening of Tekki Shodan (Naihanchi).

PRINCIPLES of ADVANCED BUDO 

Takeshin Okuden explained and illustrated as only video can. 


Your technical study of Budo began with basics. Next, you developed numerous 

techniques, then variations of those techniques. You have developed quite a 

repertoire. But you may not completely understand why your techniques work 

or why they work only sometimes. You have the knowledge and you have the 

talent, but until now, you may not have had the principles upon which all techniques 

are based. This three DVD set reveals the hidden keys to having many 

of your unasked questions answered, unlocking a treasure chest of knowledge 

from both hard and soft arts. These Takeshin principles can be applied to all 

empty hand martial arts! Complemented by the optional 206 page book that 

allows quick reference to, as well as description and photos of the principles in 

action.

INFERIOR SUPERIORITY 

GROUND DEFENSE: Avoid Grappling! 

This DVD is not about grappling. It is about AVOIDING GRAPPLING. Although 

grappling is an important combat skill, it is not suited for everyone. When you defend yourself, 

you do not spend more than a moment with one opponent unless absolutely necessary. Attackers 

know they can suddenly tackle and take down almost anyone! Now you will be able to fight back! 

* Know what to do if you are kneeling, sitting, or lying down as an attacker approaches. 

* Understand your options if he decides to rush you. 

* Plan your escape even if he has you pinned down. 

Although there is no guaranteed escape from every assailant in every situation, GROUND 

DEFENSE will prepare you for self-protection from many disadvantageous positions. 

Down is NOT OUT! (1 DVD, 2.5 hrs.) AK-41: ONLY $79.00

Takeshin SEIKEN Budo 

A unique combined martial art based on traditional techniques and principles. 

The Secrets OF SEIKEN BUDO 

an introduction to BUSHIDO-KAI’s private, in-house martial art 

Learn how to “fill the gaps” that most karate and aiki studies leave blank. SEIKEN BUDO 

(Combined Fist Martial Way) addresses striking, standing grappling, ground grappling, and 

weaponry, dealing with 5 ranges from very close to very far. You’ll pass though X-receptions 

and leg-entangles inspired by Shorinji Tetsu-Kenpo and Hapkido. Then you’ll close the gap 

with techniques modified from Wu-wei Gung-fu. Finally, you’ll draw in the opponent moving 

only minimally to defend yourself. This video set is a great benefit for both soft and hard 

stylists who want to expand the capabilities of their art over several ranges. (3 DVDs, 5 hrs.) 

TSB-1, $129.00 

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

The Skills & Drills of SEIKEN BUDO 

DEFEND AGAINST ANY ANGLE OF ATTACK! 

The integrated drills of Takeshin Seiken Budo teach you HOW TO DEFEND 

AGAINST ANY ANGLE OF ATTACK! In days or weeks, you will develop the coordination 

to respond using Kake-uke-ho, Dan Chi-sao, Seung Chi-sao, Morote Tekubi-wa Keiko, Tuishu, 

Cadena de Mano, Hubud Lubud, The “Touch-pass” Drill, and Karate Sute Geiko—all 

done with unique Takeshin integration that is essential to skill integration—your secret 

weapon against any angle of attack. 

(2 DVDs, 4.25 hrs.) TSB-2, $129.00 

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

Minimal Motion SEIKEN BUDO 

Hard Meets Soft Meets Minimal Motion 

At SEIKEN BUDO’s yondan (4th degree) level, you draw the opponent in and move 

only minimally while defending with both hard and soft movements in a deceptively relaxed 

fashion. Shihan Annesi refers to the result as “Educated Garbage.” You’ll be shocked at how 

quickly Minimal Motion Seiken Budo is learned and how easily it is applied. (3 DVDs, 4.75 

hrs.) TSB-3, ONLY $129 

------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Attack-the Attack SEIKEN BUDO 

Proto-JKD Meets Aiki 

At SEIKEN BUDO’s sandan (3rd degree) level, influenced by Sifu Joe Cowles (an 

early student of Bruce Lee), one initiates the attack upon contact. The techniques are deceptive, 

very quick, and are complemented by the minimal aiki finishes that Shihan Annesi 

contributed to the integration. 

(3 DVDs, 4.75 hrs.) TSB-4, ONLY $129 

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

Kick, Lock & Shock SEIKEN BUDO 

Kempo Meets Hapkido 

At SEIKEN BUDO’s nidan (2nd degree) level, influenced by Shihan albert Church’s 

Shorinji Tetsu Ken Ryu, one uses X & scissors blocks to receive, locks to off-balance, kicks 

to strike, and unique leg entangles to throw the opponent. 

(3 DVDs, 4.75 hrs.) TSB-5, ONLY $129 

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

The Triangle Defense 

Minimizing the Minimal & Multiple Person Defense 

“Bend at the waist; hands in his face; move your foot to another place.” Triangles 

of hand, arm, posture, and alignment of opponents all contribute to making MinMo Seiken 

Budo (see TSB-3 above) an even small, more subtle and quicker so that you can deal with 

multiple attackers. (1 DVD, 2.3 hrs.) TSB-6, ONLY $129
