Itosu’s Legacy – Motion Application Bunkai for the Pinan & Naihanchi Kata
$20.00 – $35.00
In the 1900s, Anko Itosu formulated the Pinan kata to teach publicly. Along with the kata, Naihanchi, they are misunderstood as to their combat effectiveness.
In this groundbreaking DVD set, I am using my Motion Application concept to break down the Pinan & Naihanchi katas into simple, usable, no-nonsense street defense. This DVD set will be valuable for any student of the martial arts from beginner to master.
This is the companion DVD set to the book of the same name.
Prof. Dan Anderson is one of the top martial arts masters in the United States. Known as a national and world champion karate fighter, he is also called “an instructor’s instructor.”
This book may be purchased in DVD or MP4 downloadable video form. See options below.
Description
Book Reviews of Itosu’s Legacy (the book)
“If you are a fan of realistic kata application you are going to love this book! As with all Dan’s work, the accessible no-nonsense writing and clear photographs communicate the information with ease. The applications are a million miles away from the static, highly choreographed, exaggerated distance stuff that so often passes for ‘bunkai’. The ‘aliveness’ of Dan’s take on these kata leaps from the pages and I would direct anyone who mistakenly believes that kata can’t be used in a live fight to this book. Seriously, it’s great! All pragmatically minded kata enthusiasts need a copy of this book!”
Iain Abernethy, 6th Dan
“Over the years Kata application has played a larger role in most styles, not just the few that have always practiced it. Professor Dan Anderson, master of Body Physics and all things basic, breaks down application in easy to understand and perform terms in his new publication, Itosu’s Legacy. Having had the privilege of knowing and sharing information with Professor Anderson for something like 4 decades, his skill and the ease with which he shares it has always amazed and inspired me. If you want more understanding of how what you do works, be sure to let Professor Anderson inform you through his writings and DVD’s. It’s an experience you will cherish as he brings light to the techniques you have taken for granted but not necessarily understood.”
Wendi Dragonfire, 9th Dan Shuri-Ryu
“I have received the book, after reading it, it immediately gained a top spot in my martial arts library reference section. I have been training and studying for 48+ years and your book is one of the best I’ve read.”
