It is an EXCELLANT book but in my opinion the book by the same author..."Bunkai-jutsu" is even better!

 

[Hand Sword]

Does it really get into the grappling aspect ver well? Standing and on the ground?

 

[RyuKyuBushi]

Very detailed in both standing and ground but more focused on groung in my opinion.

I agree on both parts of RKB's assessment...

The author has a website http://www.iainabernethy.com/ with a lot of information and articles. There are even a couple of free e-books. He does some great things with bunkai. He has some good articles on the Pinan / Heian series and the bunkai behind them, lots of gappling. He also has an interesting discussion of blocks in the articles, saying that what we call blocks were not originally intended to be such.

I've got most all of Iain's stuff and have had the priviledge of working with him one on one. Very knowledgeable and definitely a good egg.
