Bruce Bookman – Aikido Extensions Vol.4

Bruce Bookman Sensei has 50 years of aikido experience, nearly 25 years of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training (ranked as a black belt), and years of boxing experience

Although Bruce Bookman spends 90% of his time on classical aikido instruction and practice, he is a big believer in self-defense skills and has placed a priority on this at his own dojo and in his own artistic expression as a martial artist
Although self-defense is not the highest priority for everyone who practices a Budo art, Aikido Journal thinks it’s important to showcase a well-designed, thoughtful approach focused in this area
Bruce Bookman is truly an innovator in this area
