I wanted to get 'the sabaki method' or whatever it's called simply because of discussions on angling off an opponent and setting them up.

Thing is, looks like the sabaki guys are out of stock for a while.


Anybody know any good books on striking that discusses primarily getting a superior position/angle?

Book with solo drills and bagwork drills?

I don't know how to read.

Do you mean 'Sabaki Method: Karate in the Inner Circle'?

If so i can help out.

no way you can? I want one too

Dam i think the box is in storage, will drop a PM if i ever am bothered to go get my copies of it. Great read though, you might be able to find a 2nd hand copy on amazons.

There was an Ashihara dvd series that focused on using sabaki in kyokushin knockdown tournaments. If you really want to learn, I'd try to get to a boxing gym. A lot of the foot work I learned in boxing was angling off to setup punches.

If anyone gets a good lead on copies of "Sabaki," lemme know.

Amazon.com: Sabaki Method: Karate in the Inner Circle: Kancho Ninomiya, Ed Zorensky: Books (http://www.amazon.com/Sabaki-Method-Karate-Inner-Circle/dp/1883319749)

They had 12 used copies when I checked moments ago.

Damnit, he's not supposed to know about amazon.com until 5th dan, JFC WHY DON'T YOU JUST TELL HIM ALL OUR SECRETS. ><

THats the one.

Amazon.ca has it, but it's jumped up to like 80 bucks or something.

THen again, i haven't been online for a while, so i don't know if their still in stock at Ishin-ryu.com

Ooops, didn't look at the link.

Looks nice and cheap.

Thankee pooo!!

Anyone know any other books on angling,

books on boxing/kick boxing/muay thai that have a heavy emphasis on hitting angles?

If you're hardcore about getting books, check amazon for "fighting karate" and "more fighting karate" by the man himself, Ashihara. The second one is about $200, but i still plan on getting it. "Fighting Karate", imo, is better than "Sabaki Method". Also, try "Complete Kickboxing", by Keith Livingston. It has several bits on angling.

thanks for the link dood just placed my order
