@JTWebsites I have uploaded all of Shihan's kobudo videos that I have, and I have not heard of a kata by that name. I have only learned shushi no kon, but our handbook also lists:
cho un no kon,
sakugawa no kon,
tsuken no kon, and
shiishi no kon.
I think there are a couple others in our organization that higher dan learn.
Honestly, I haven't even learned Cho Un no Kon, but I do remember a sempai having to explain it the same way as Shushi no Kon (i.e. Mr Cho Un's "stick")
@Demibanzaa I just realized no-one posted an answer to this - Cho Un translates to Morning Clouds, but it was probably a man's name, since a lot of Japanese family names can be translated into English words.
While traditionally 6', even Shureido, the authority on Okinawan weapons, sells a 6'5" bo for taller people. Every little bit helps, as long as you have the height to wield it!
Fantastic. I learned this kata from Kyoshi Knight at Yamashita Int'l Temecula, CA. Very similar, but typical of Tadashi Yamashita's style much more flowing . Less "stiff".
All the videos are "serialized" in my clips, but if you want to get them on dvd, the link for Century Fitness is where to go. Glad you like them - it's going to be many years before I know much of this myself!
This will deffanently braden my horizons.

Shushi no Kon is named after a person right? And if so, is Cho un no Kon also named after a person?

Hempev- What are your thoughs of bo size for a man 6'5". Should I stay with the standard 6' bo or look for a custom one a little longer?

what Style of Bo is This?

Style of bo? Do you mean the weapon (roku shaku bo) or the school of martial arts (kobudo)?

Thank you for sharing. I am learning Kobudo at my dojo as it was taught to them by Grand Master Shinyu Gushi.

Yes, thats very kind of you to post those Bo videos. I don't have any Kobudo classes in my town, so your tutorials are priceless for me. Thank you.
