Advanced Stick Fighting Paperback – 10 Nov. 2014

This book gives a rather good impression on the stick fighting part of the Kukishinden school. One of the 9 schools of the Bujinkan. Beautiful b/w pictures and drawings, contributing to a sense of authenticity. This book is not an instruction book, however, some techniques are explained step by step in tekst.

The first book that i bought (chambers one ) was not bad at all and offered more.( with regards to locks and throwing etc i.e technical. perhaps what can be more higher level advanced techniques, perhaps we may refer to menkio(if thats how you spell it)okuden ,kaiden techniques which may actually seem simpler. say for example a strike to a vital point can end a confrontation on the spot almost like a sutemi rather than technical locks like in the first book.Stick fighting is a vicious art when done properly. The author is a renouned martial artist so really if we study what he has offered us we can only gain in knowledge.

A great book good and picture reference though his first stick fighting book is a better read and reference I recommend them both

This book is a good companion for "Stick Fighting for Self Defence". Some of the pictures are rather blurred.I would have liked to have known that the book was mainly about the bo rather than the jo and the hanbo.

Great book, plenty of info

Excelente livro recomendo a todos os praticantes da Bujinkan

Das Buch, welches in englischer Sprache geschrieben ist, bildet einen hervorragenden Überblick des japanischen Stockkampfes. Die gezeigten Techniken sind auf deutlichen schwarz-weiß-Fotos dargestellt, denen lediglich eine Bildnummerierung fehlt. Nichts für Anfänger, aber hervorragend um sich über fortgeschrittene Techniken zu informieren.

The illustraions are a bit hard to see but other wise it's a good book by the Master

With a little effort the instructions in this book can help you improve your techniques. The glimpses into the history behind the art is interesting
