About This Item
Considered one of the world's leading martial artists, FUMIO DEMURA studied kendo and judo in his youth before going on to practice karate. After becoming an All Japan Free-Fighting champion, Demura sensei concentrated his martial arts practice on karate and the art of Okinawan kobudo. A foremost authority in kobudo, Demura sensei is a twice-inducted member of the prestigious Black Belt Hall of Fame (1969, Instructor of the Year; 1975 Man of the Year) and travels the world to teach his arts.
The bo I a 6-foot wooden staff used by karate students in the practice of kobudo, the weapons art that has evolved along with karate over the centuries. It has become one of the most widely-used of the ancient kobudo weapons. Today, martial artists of many styles use the bo to improve all their skills: hand coordination, balance, footwork, speed and power.
In BO: KARATE WEAPON OF SELF-DEFENSE, Demura presents an overview of the bo's history, masters, anatomy, and maintenance protocols. He also covers basic fighting positions, stances and warm-up exercises before moving on to striking, poking, blocking, combinations, self-defense applications and kata. Demura's clear and concise explanations foster an understanding of the weapon as an extension of the body, making this a perfect book for the new martial artist or for the veteran seeking to expand his or her repertoire.
