Review: A real nice book, really complete, interesting and well stuffed with informations. Even the objet in itself is really great, with a nice glazed paper and colors. Also, you have the name of every arts (Nunchaku, bo, tonfa, etc.) in kanji next to the english name. I highly recommend this if your interested in kobudo and the Matayoshi method.
Review: Great book, especially for those who are looking for Eku/Oar kata

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by K***I on 18 January 2016*

Whether you practice or simply appreciate the fierce grace of true Matayoshi Kobudo, you will enjoy this book. Sensei Guarelli provides a concise history, describes every weapon in this extensive fighting system, and then shares detailed photos of a full Kata - for eku - (oar) PLUS the bunkai/application versus bo. Martial artists will notice the form that is unique to Matayoshi style Kobudo: the turn of the hips, the fluidity of the shoulders - all designed to generate martial power in the strike. Dozens of photos have never been seen before, and were granted to Sensei Guarelli by Shinpo Matayoshi himself, and his family upon his death. Guarelli is Founder and Chairman of The International Matayoshi Kobudo Association. (...) He is one of the few Westerners to have trained with Shinpo Matayoshi for decades. This book is a martial arts bible.
