"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.
"Kancho Ninomiyas Sabaki Method is an exciting new approach to karate that anyone can do. I am delighted to see it now in book form for the very first time. Ninomiyas dedication to the martial arts is second to none. He truly understands and lives the budo spirit.
-Kancho Gakku Homma, Aikido for Life
