Product Description
Shuyokan Ryu is a martial art teaching system made up of techniques taken from the traditional martial arts of Yoshinkan Aikido, Kodokan Judo and Jujitsu, and Shotokan Karate Jutsu. Shuyokan Ryu stresses, “self defense”, not fighting. The founder and headmaster, Soke David Dye, has taken these techniques and put them into a practical form of martial art based on his 34 years as a police officer in California and his martial arts training and teaching since 1962. His self-defense system is better known as the “Samurai Cops System of Self-Defense”. This Aikido series is a three volume set coveing the complete style of Shuyokan Ryu Aikido.
Volume #1- Techniques of Kotegaeshi (Reverse Hand)
Volume #2- Techniques of Shihonage (All Direction Throw) and Irminnage (Entering Throw)
Volume #3- Handgun, Knife and Club Disarming Techniques
Don’t want to sound like a broken record if you read my first two reviews. But this is a great instructional video. It’s like having the instructor in your house, but nothing like going to the mat yourself and learning hands on. Another ten minutes introduction with basic instruction of break falls and rolls, same as the first two. The big improvement is the 40 minutes of instructions against weapons. This is how a good martial art instruction video ought to be. Hmmm… How to put it in words… I don’t like gun defenses. They tend to be unrealistic. Just not safe nor smart, but then it’s your life on the line. My best advice is to give them your money or car keys… you can replace those, not your life. More ten minutes of advertisements. This video may be worth the $30.
The quality of all three Videos are outstanding. I have learned so much that can be used for today’s self-defense.
The techniques here are awesome.
