1) Paperback Book Sabaki Method: Karate in the Inner Circle by Frog Books. OWNER OFFERED TO REFUND MY MONEY NEVER GOT IT !! HATED IT DONT EVEN BOTHER!!¤ 2) Paperback Book Sabaki Method: Karate in the Inner Circle by Frog Books. Having competed in the prestigious Sabaki Challenge on three separate occasions, I was very intrigued to finally obtain a copy of Kancho Ninomiya´s book, "Sabaki Method." Imagine my surprise to see a picture of me competing in 1994 against an opponent from Japan (you can see the picture on page 39).
I found this book to be very well done and loaded with valuable information. Although the scope of this book is large and therefore it´s not possible to spend a lot of time on any one particular technique, the author does a fantastic job at providing you with very valuable information in a limited amount of space. The photographs and illustrations are top-notch and the detailed information that accompanies them to be nothing short of fantastic. Here is an example of some of the techniques, in this case kicks, that are demonstrated in this book.
Roundhouse Kick (Achieving Kicking Excellence, Vol. 9)
Side Kick (Achieving Kicking Excellence, Vol. 10)
Back Kick (Achieving Kicking Excellence, Vol. 1)
Hook Kick (Achieving Kicking Excellence, Vol. 7)
Axe Kick (Achieving Kicking Excellence, Vol. 3)
Front Kick (Achieving Kicking Excellence, Vol. 6)
I personally found the strategy and principles to be very sound and, in my opinion, the best part of the book. Another stellar section in this book is the training and practice methods that the author demonstrates quite well towards the back of the book. I particularly liked the section dealing with the heavy bag.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone involved not only in the "hard" styles of Karate, but any martial art be it Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Jujitsu, etc. There is something to be learned by everyone in this book.

Martial Artist/Author of the Achieving Kicking Excellence series.¤ 3) Paperback Book Sabaki Method: Karate in the Inner Circle by Frog Books. On the roots of Kyokushin and Ashihara Karate, there is an excellent book of Kancho Joko Ninomiya.
Over 2000 photos and diagrams. Every full contact Karate fighter will learn a lot from that book.
¤ 4) Paperback Book Sabaki Method: Karate in the Inner Circle by Frog Books. Required reading for my private students. This book mirrors in words, photo´s and highly illustrated drawings, one of the first things I learned when sparring: move around and outside an incoming attack. This book then shows how to best utilize this movement. I got the book back in 2002 and am still trying to drill some of these techniques into my repertoire. The book does an excellent job of displaying the basic punching and kicking mechanics and then moves into intermediate and advanced tactics and techniques. Then the book shows how to use this method for a very effective self-defense. The section of breaking ice with the hands and one (or more!) baseball bats with the shin was fascinating. I just wish they had gone into a little bit more on the conditioning to make these breaks.
Even if you are not going to engage in full-contact sparring, the tactics and techniques are easily adapted for self-defense, point sparring, etc.
¤ 5) Paperback Book Sabaki Method: Karate in the Inner Circle by Frog Books. This book is one of the best you can find out there on Knockdown Full-Contact Karate. Very complete and with good explanations. The only lack you can find is some of the photos are a bit too small.
Really good.¤ 6) Paperback Book Sabaki Method: Karate in the Inner Circle by Frog Books. Sabaki means staying open to the world at large and responding to others in a way that blends energies in new directions. Whether it is a question of repelling an attack or building relationships, the combined energy that comes from sabaki is an effort of cooperation, openness, and respect. Whether you are training for health, competition, or self-defense, The Sabaki Method can show you how to turn defense into offense, anticipate attacks, condition the body, and focus the mind. Kancho Ninomiya takes the mystery out of karate.¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 22-Apr-2009, 18833197499781883319748, 890-000-2X0-240-701-751-551-491-534-254-S4B-8
