This DVD features former Ashihara Karate instructor Taizo Ito, who pursued the art of "sabaki" (handling/controlling) with face strikes. This DVD is highly beneficial for those studying sabaki, as well as those practicing full-contact karate and traditional karate. The explanations are easy to understand, as they are demonstrated in actual sparring. Taizo Ito: A disciple of the legendary karateka Hideyuki Ashihara, known as the "Kenka Jūdan" (The Fighting 10th Dan). His powerful sabaki techniques were praised by Hideyuki Ashihara as "a man who can sabaki attacks." His techniques for sabaki with face strikes are the result of constant training, always pushing the boundaries between life and death. #Karate #AshiharaKarate #Shinkyokushin #HideyukiAshihara #DVD
