Well there you go. I'd always been perplexed by how the Japanese never seem to have had a system involving a shield. But now I know they had at least one.
I'd be interested in comparing this with I.33 (European sword and buckler) and rotella... Maybe in a bout.
@SamGCampbell The Japanese have never had a system involving a shield, actually. The Timbe Rochin is an Okinawan kobudo and no matter that Japan annexed them 139 years ago, the majority of Okinawans don't consider themselves Japanese. It's a small point, but important, I think. That said, I hold the art of the TImbei in rather high respect and I hope to learn it one day.
@SamGCampbell with timbe rochin you carry three or for rochin in your obi so a bout might be difficult as rochin can be thrown like shuriken jutsu,in the kata there are a number of places where you throw the rochin,
the to blocks near the end 1:27 looks like 2 of the beginning blocks in maezato no tekko

the performance of this kata is very good. In the end, at naore, you should have to take tinbe and rochin into your right hand.
