He is a great Martial artist that wrote many books in the 80's on differant weapons and was a great influence in the arts. He was well known and still is working with people such as Chuck Norris and such.
He is incredible with weapons.
Look for him on the net maybe youtube and see if their are any clips. You will not be dissapointed.
Demura is known for his work in such movies as The Karate Kid series, Rising Sun, Mortal Kombat, and The Island of Dr. Moreau. I'm assuming as a choreographer. Demura also worked with Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris. Bruce Lee learned many of his weapon wielding techniques from Demura. (wikipedia) He is a real martial artist. I've read the nunchaku books too he has published to brush up.
Master Demura has spent his lifetime learning and teaching Japanese Karate and yes he is also the author of some of the best selling book on the Martial Arts.
I have some of his books and a few demos on tape, as a matter a fact, Master Demura even been on the History channel more then once.

In fact he was one of the first authors in Ohara Publications to publish picture books on Sai techniques and Nunchaku techniques.

Absolutely a real martial artist. He has (or had) a dojo in Orange County, California. I have been in some clinics with him years ago.
He has also been a consultant for films, Karate Kid is one that comes to mind.
Real martial artist.
I think he just wrote books. Not sure.
