HI guys,
I've got another video to share. I appreciate your continued feedback and understanding that this is a little unorthodox from what is normally shared on this forum. This video is looking at the hikite that we see when chambering the bo and it's uses beyond just powering a strike.
Best,
Sal
I know next to nothing about Kobudo, but I do like the idea of re-examining Kobudo kata in order to check for the kind of misunderstandings that were prevalent in karate kata. I therefore find these videos interesting and I look forward to seeing if and how Kobudo experiences its own bunkai renaissance. Thanks for sharing these!
All the best,
Iain
Great stuff it is making me rethink my Jo Katas.
I don't practice any weapons, but this videos make me feel like I should do some Bo.
Well done Sal , looking forwar to more clips.
kind regards
Les
Thanks everyone!
As a practically thinking martial artist, and a practitioner of Okinawan Kobudo I would say that this series is among (if not) the best Kobujutsu applications shown on the web. I appreciate the efforts and the new perspectives.
Thank you very much. I truly feel like practical application of kobudo weapons is uncharted territory. Modern kobudo has become just as watered down as the school-boy karate that we have worked so hard to move away from. Its a work in progress but I feel like it's heading in a good direction. Thank you for watching!
