Author Sid Campbell  describes, illustrates, and artfully explains the tactics, techniques and strategies of the wide array of traditional weapons wielded by the legendary samurai warrior of ancient Japan and the more obscure weapon-tools devised and used by the Okinawan “te” masters of the Ryukyuan Islands.  The birthplace of traditional “karate” and the “kobudo”  (ancient weapon way arts) that derived their origin from this small island kingdom.  This E-Book is a MUST for the serious martial artists that trains in weaponry of Asia.

 

The mind-set of a real warrior was such that in a life-or-death combative engagement, nothing could be left to chance.  In feudal Japan, where warriors trained since early childhood to become samurai, physical skills were honed to a high level of perfection.  If two samurai confronted one another in battle, all physical skills being equal, it was usually the one with the greater strategic and tactical skills who prevailed.  It was the tricks, ruses, psychological ploys, military bearing, intestinal fortitude, commitment, loyalty, perseverance, and all of the tactics and strategies found in this book that made some warriors from that era great military strategists and renowned weapon experts.

  

Now you too will learn what these weapon masters have known.  Whether you are a devotee of Okinawan kobudo (ancient weapon way) a student of classical or traditional Japanese bushido (way of the warrior), this book will provide you with the pure essence of what real weapon fighting arts are all about.

 

This work is presented in three sections.  The first section deals exclusively with the heiho, or secret methods, that apply to all weapon arts regardless of style or origin.  Without this, a weapon art would be nothing more than an assembly of techniques based more on theoretical application than realism.
