CALLING BULLSHIT,,,, there is no way that is a functional takedown technigue ,, even a novus would release the hold on his own bo before ever being taken down .. there is nothing more iresponsible than to teach a technique that has absolutely no chance of working in either a real life or even a dojo bo sparring situation ,, and yes ive faught in comepetition , w the bo as well as forms ,, ive trained for almost 30 yrs ,, so yes i do know what im talking about.. be a responsible sensie..
@CELT2012 Most of these techniques wouldn't work(as you said) for real as the bo would be released but the techniques from 47 up would work as they lock the wrist/hand against the bo.You would have to be incredibly fast to use them though.The best takedowns for bo work against the legs.
I swear, Bo's are the best weapon. Seriously, they're one of the oldest weapons in the history of mankind, and there's a reason why we STILL use it today.... because it's amazingly useful and adaptable!
@THEGREATMAX yeah in my opinion the only weapons that are still practical are the knife, the club and the staff the rest you wont encounter during your life time , i dont mean to insult anyone art, its just the truth, whats the point in training katana defense instead of knife defense? how many people carry a katana these days? :P
@Taud Why? Weapons are an extension of yourself. Weapons teach body movement, angling, distancing and timing. Katanas are still showing up in the news too. Besides, Katanas are badass! Rokushakubo too and Kusari Fundo.
@Moviebro because yu cant carry a katana legally, a club/staff or a knife you can, kusari fundo are quite illegal to carry as well, obviously weapons are an extension of yourself, but im sorry theres nothing you can learn from iado and whatnot for real life because you wont be carrying your sword, instead i opt for kali because knifes and sticks are quite common, never have i ever witnessed a katana slaying in the news in my life, knives and clubs? well thats a daily occurrence for sure...
@Taud Carrying around a machete isn't normal either, unless you live in the jungle. Their are plenty of news stories about someone using a katana for home protection. Best weapon for self defense? A flashlight or your keys. Knives can easily be turned around on you and can easily put you in trouble legally. I just said Kusari Fundo because I train in ninjutsu and it's one of my faves, besides rokushakubo. Iaido has it's place.
@Moviebro uhhm? where did i say carry a machete? so a katana wont get you in trouble with the law but a knife will? wow man thats some backwars ass logic, i dont know anyone whos brave enough to try and take a knife from someone who seriously can use it, your keys? thats the worst idea ive ever heard! if you lose your keys than you have to rely on a spare set or your locked out for the night iado has no place on the street, i respect the arts man i trained over 8 years in chinese and japanese MA
@Taud The sticks used in Kali represent machetes. Keys: blunt, hard , edged and handy. Punch someone with keys in your hands and damage will be done, especially if you hit say the eyes and pressure points. Iaido not on the street, but at home. How many people really know how to use a knife though? You have a higher chance of cutting yourself or having the knife taken away from you. Then what? A knife and a sword could get you in equal trouble. Can't say the same for keys or a pen.
@Moviebro Well i personally know how to use knives quite well, so i dont have to worry about me being cut, also the one time i actually used the knife, i didnt even have to cut them, i just flicked it out on spring assist and they ran away, the chance of being attacked by a knife, club or staff are higher than any katana attack you didnt read what i said, i wouldnt use a machete i didnt say anything about kali actually you added that yourself, take your chances winning with house keys or a pen
@Moviebro send me these links that you are referring to about all these katana wielding white men defending themselves with swords itll make for a hilarious read at work,but nah the convo with the other person was about whats practical in this day an age youve kinda taken it in your own direction, the knife and the club/staff are all thats readily around you IE the flash light would fall under clubs/staff
@Taud Sorry but Iaido is usefull in a fight.It teaches you distance and timing and how bloody deadly any weapon can be so dont be there.Long distance sprinting is of course the best defense against a non balistic weapon but how many of us practice that.
(while Iaido may teach some things regarding weapon use it is not the IDEAL art to use but still better than none)
@Taud Dont be so narrow minded.defense against a katana will work against any medium sized stick(read baseball bat) or club wielded the same way.It also has the advantage of training with the attitude of "only one chance to work" as a minor injury from a sword will still kill most of the time.I have already encountered a knife in "real life" but not a club or staff and didnt even want the knife.I did win but still got cut(minor) after years of trainning. contd
@jadekayak01 I'd actually say they're both right and just too stubborn to see the truth in the other's words. Watch some of the better kendo or iado fellows pick up an umbrella and you're looking at someone who can probably mangle most anyone, Moviebro is right. But as Taud pointed out, keys are a bloody, pointy, nasty weapon and just about everyone carries them, same with flashlights and knives. It's not a case of legally carrying them, they're just easy to hide in your clothes.
@jadekayak01 i have to disagree, "enthusiastic amateurs" are often reckless and sloppy, my comment though was more towards whats practical as a weapon in this day in age, not really the skill level of the one using it
Good performance and trained skills. Start from natural situation or kamae. Let the staf flow throuh your hands. Watch your hands, They are key targets.
These techniques probably wouldn't work under the best of circumstances...how about letting go of one hand and not falling to the ground so easily. I understand its just some kind demonstration, but would you think they would wanna show off a little something more practical?
The style of martial art is Seidokan. Watching this video brings back very fond memories of my time studying under Sensei Toma. This is Toma's studio outside of Gate2 at Kadena AFB, Okinawa Japan. You can see Sensei Toma sitting on the back wall watching his students perform the Bo techniques.
For some real takedowns and throws check out "Master Isidro" bo work.Aikido influenced so lacks attack skills but defense is superb
