 Great work! January 14, 2001

After I bought my pair of sai's,I wanted to find out more about this weapon and this book explains clearly and shows by sequential pages this dangerous artform. Lots of different ways to avoid attacks from barehanded attackers and some proper methods of moving to attack.

Well what can I say, this book is an extremely solid study on the use of the Sai. Fumio Demura is a master instructor and practioner of his art. This book is a must for weapon enthusiasts and Karate practioners alike. All the basics are covered from stances to blocks and to strikes. This text will add to the knowledge of any Karateka regardless of his interest in the weapon or not. A fairly dated book now, but a bible for the Sai user
This book gave me a great start on training with the sai July 27, 2000

This fully illustrated book showed me the proper ways of gripping, stances, blocking, karate and sai similarities, movements, footwork and sparring. For me, this book was basically my teacher on learning the sai. This book is great for people who want to go to the extreme of tournament fighting or for those who just want to learn it just for the sake of knowing how it use the sai. Great book!

Karate Weapon of self defense:SAI is a great book! After I bought my first pair of sai's I wanted to find out more then what i already know and this book explains proper handling, history and clearly shows why this beautiful ancient weapon is still a respected and dangerous artform. Lots of different ways to avoid attacks from barehanded attackers to nunchuka's, and some proper methods of moving to attack. Great work!
