Seiken Shukumine (1925-2001), born in Okinawa Prefecture, was a renowned martial artist who elevated and systematized Okinawan karate into a martial art known as Taido (躰道). This comprehensive DVD set, supervised and instructed by the Nihon Bugei Taido Honin / Nihon Taido Kyokai, meticulously introduces the practical aspects of Taido across two volumes.
The techniques explored in Taido, which integrate human movement, physiology, and psychology into a unified system, are invaluable not only to Taido practitioners but also to martial artists across various disciplines.
