The Tonfa by martial arts veteran Clifford C. Crandall is the 1996 illustrated handbook that serious practitioners still reach for when they want to perfect form, build confidence, and add an authentic Okinawan weapon to their training.
Clean pages, tight binding, and a smoke-free shelf life mean the book is ready for immediate mat-side use; only light cover scuffs and the occasional page mark hint at its vintage 1990s era. Crandall’s clear line drawings demonstrate angles and flow so you can check posture at a glance, while concise coaching cues help students link technique to self-esteem and personal development.
Whether you study karate, kobudo, or simply want a reliable self-help guide to focused discipline, this affordable used copy keeps the art of the tonfa accessible without the collector-level price tag.
