Taikiken Challenge DVD 4 by Satoshi Amano

Vol.4: Push Hands and Striking

How far can you elevate your own martial arts? That is the challenge. And I want the next generation to see my achievement as their starting point.

Toshi Amano provides thorough guidance!
Recorded seminars from Taiki Shisei Kenpo・Taiki Kai, reconstructed for easier learning in "Taiki Ken Challenge Lectures."

In Vol.4, challenge yourself in "push hands" amidst collisions with opponents, applying the principles of "upper and lower force." Protect your own center while attacking the opponent's. Respond to your opponent and adapt to changes. From touch to striking with force... acquiring what is necessary for sparring.
