What kind of bo did he use to hit the makiwara so hard without breaking his bo?

[KARATEbyJesse]

It's made of bamboo. Durable and flexible.

Cool. A weapons man who does more with his weapon than just twirl it like a baton. He has my respect.

This is probably one of the most interesting videos on martial arts I have seen in a long time!

[allanbruks]

Just a little notice, it´s probably made of Rattan and not Bamboo.

but as Karate by Jesse mention it¨s durable and flexible.

and is very good to use when you are doing kumite with a opponent that is having a Bo made of redwood.

Id prefer an oak bo, cause when it breaks you have a spear haha

[Yamtendo]

@KARATEbyJesse That's pro. Bamboo just makes a lot more sense for a weapon...It's stronger, more flexible, and usually lighter...

I feel this is good hojo undo training for the bo applications. Noted he uses a variety of stances and works the clock angles of Happo no Giri. I do not think this is directly extrapolated from any certain Okinawan Kobudo Kata but a drill utilizing a systematic variation of stance entries, blocks and parry's, and strikes at the three gates. Well done and worth the critical eye for adoption.

To those that believe this extreme bo nonsense done with an aluminum reed is a martial art, check this out and learn.

[ikkaindia]
