Mastering the Martial Arts Body: Weight Transfer & Footwork DVD by Akira Hino

Straightforward Questions Answered Head-On by Akira Hino

Through thorough questioning, the "answers" to martial arts are revealed:

• How do you control multiple opponents with varying strength and body weight?
• What are your thoughts on Aiki-age (rising techniques)?
• What’s the difference in how force is transmitted using a wooden sword versus a flexible staff?
  And more.

Despite being 76 years old this year and having a slim physique that falls below the average in both weight and height, Akira Hino, the master, never shows any signs of aging. He continues to captivate martial artists, athletes, and dancers alike with techniques that transcend the limits of physicality and age.

In an attempt to thoroughly uncover the essence of his seemingly "ageless power", a series of persistent questions were asked, covering topics that would typically never be addressed in public.
