I read about him Draeger almost ten years ago. This is the first footage for me. Great clip. Semper Fi!

First read about Donn Draeger in a martial arts book called From Lee to Li. Great to see footage of the man who had over 100 black belts.

Here in SoCal, our Sensei uses a light-weight tanjo, which is just a piece of doweling available at most lumber yards in the exact right length. The lightness makes for faster use with less likelihood of injury should a slip-up happen.

The original walking-stick in Uchida-ryu was sort of cone-shaped: Thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom. I dont know if any SMR groups use an authentic cone-typ of stick anymore though. Maybe some does in public embu. In our group we use a regular evenly shaped 90 cm stick. I got my own stick at Bokkenshop where its simply called "3 shaku jo". The "Ninecircles" shop call it a "hanbo" but essentially its the same staff.
