	Self-Defense Forums: For A Fighting Chance - Question for Don.. Re: Hatsumi
		The hanbojutsu book is great too, if you're familliar with stickfighting or have practiced hanbojutsu before.
		The tessenjutsu and juttejutsu, great if you are interested in these weapons, again, very adaptable to use with improvised weapons and so on.
		One thing I like about both these books, and the others, is that they contain glimpses of what Hatsumi sensei was like as a younger man. He believes that his budo is stronger now than ever, but in the knife and pistol fighting book in particular he looks particularly imposing.

		It might help to call or email major martial arts associations (especially Japanese styles) and see if they can help you find an instructor.
