Nunchaku: The Complete Training Guide Book by Jiro Shiroma (Preowned)

When Japan invaded the Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa) in the 1600s, it confiscated the weapons of every inhabitant. All that remained for the people were farm implements and a wealth of martial arts knowledge. When the Okinawans discovered these tools could be used as extensions of their hands, a fearsome fighting style was born. One of the most feared weapons was the nunchaku, traditionally used to pound grain and other brush. But placed in the hands of a trained practitioner, the lightweight nunchaku became a symbol of speed and power. Nowhere can this be seen more clearly than through the eyes of Jiro Shiroma, unarguably one of the most talented and exciting weapons practitioners on the scene today.

Hanshi Jiro Shiroma is a 9th Degree Black Belt who has been involved in various styles of Martial Arts and Combat Sports for over 50 years. He created "the True Way Self Defense System" which consists of techniques that are designed for women and smaller people to defend against a larger attacker.
