OverviewIf you are a student of jujitsu, judo, aikido, or karate, or a fan of the martial arts, this book by George Kirby will help you connect the dots between concepts and techniques. It deals with the theory and application of circular movement to redirect an opponent's attack quickly and effectively with minimal effort on your part. You will learn how to use an opponent's momentum against him in devastating fashion through appropriate application of his and your ki (energy), kuzushi (off-balancing) and proper positioning of your saiki tanden (center). Maximizing the elements of circular movement in using an opponent's energy against him results in fast and effective control during an attack.

Table of ContentsReviewsIn the history of the martial arts there have been very many famous performers, but only a few really outstanding teachers. George Kirby's many books and videos on jujutsu have taken the art to a vast audience that no mere dojo could contain. This latest volume presents the parts of jujutsu that are hardest to learn because they are hardest to see--the skills of unbalancing and energy flow that seemingly exist more in the mental world than the physical one, but become easier to perceive and apply as a result of this book. Highly recommended. --Bruce D. Clayton, author, Shotokan's Secret In the history of the martial arts there have been very many famous performers, but only a few really outstanding teachers.
