BayView’s DVD releases from the world-renowned experts at Black Belt Magazine continue with five volumes of Aiki-Do instruction, releasing on April 13, 2010. Considered by many to be the most humane of all fighting arts, aiki-do was founded by Japanese grandmaster Morihei Ueshiba. Ueshiba spent his lifetime devoted to the ancient jujitsu arts. His art consists of highly effective joint locks, pressure points, leverage, balance and throwing techniques that require minimum effort to yield the maximum results. The fact that police agencies around the world have since adopted and incorporated aiki-do in their training curriculum is testimony to the efficacy of this art's apprehension and restraining techniques. In this five-volume DVD series, Sam Combes sensei - a retired police officer who holds a 6th-degree black belt from the Yoshinkai Aiki-do Institute in Japan - teaches the kata, self-defense and weapons techniques which form the cornerstone of this art. Combes teaches aiki-do's basic stances, proper falling, vital drills and techniques, and much more. Additional topics also include: exercises to make your body supple, kihon, ki and the "internal spiritual power." Suggested retail price for each of the “Aiki-Do” DVDs from Black Belt Magazine is $29.99, available on April 13, 2010.
