Javier Martinez

For many years Javier Martinez has been researching Okinawan traditional katas, More interested in the application of the movements rather than the form itself, he decided to publish some of his discoveries. They constitute the basics of the secret art of Tuite. Once reserved for the high ranking military officers, bodyguards of the emperor, these techniques offer a unique view and understanding of this highly advanced art of self defense.
