Practical Aiki-do , Vol 5 by Robert Koga

Summary: A different approach to the art of aikido
Review: This was one of the videos I purchased when I started teaching some police officers martial arts. I bought it based on the reputation Koga had from his Weaponless Self Defense manuals used by police officers on the west coast of the U.S.

This video is very well done and the information contained in here is very practical and useful for those looking for how to apply jujutsu and aikido concepts to practical self defense situations. Koga is a very good teacher and an excellent speaker and this helps this video to rise above many other Black Belt videos.

Vol. 5 has the interesting additions of dealing with things such as groundwork and the practical use of weapons which is not often seen aikido videos. After seeing this video I felt that I would really like to have the experience of participating in one of this man's seminars.

This is a video I have watched quite a few times and have no trouble whatsoever recommending to others.
