This Months technique comes from Grand Master Daniel Verkerke of Seicho Jutsu. In this clip Grand Master Verkerke shows us how to defend against a punching attacker with a hanbo (3 ft. staff). The clip comes from a demonstration that GM Verkerke did at Martial Arts Expo 2000 in Barrie Ontario Canada in April.
