Sai: Karate Weapon of Self-Defense Reviews


  • Aspen

    I've been in martial arts my whole life, and this was very useful, thank you! I reference it all the time during my training.

  • Bert Edens

    A great basic book about the use of sai. My martial arts instructor actually had Demura Sensei sign this for me. Pretty cool.
