This is real Kobudo, with a real bo, performed by a real master. For those of you who don't have a clue, do you notice that he doesn't use a metal or toothpick, unlike so many of you fake-ass Kobudoka? It is a standard rokushakubo. Why is it that we never see anyone do flashy twirling and hands-free bullshit with one of these? Hmmmm....Answer that one.

@budokichigai because we don't want to lose our weapon! I also have a clip of Shihan hitting a student's bo as he tries to switch grips and *not* have it knocked out of his hands.

@pablohthegreat This is derived from forms by Matayoshi Shinko Sensei and Kinjo Takashi Sensei but ours is called International Okinawan Kobudo Association. We concentrate solely on weapons, hence the name of the association is not related to any empty-hand technique.

I studied Wado Ryu Karate when I was younger, and I still remember the katas,but I never learned any traditional Okinawan weapons. Will these lessons work along side the Wado Ryu style?

@kustomhead My sensei, Shihan Bolz, first made sho dan in Wado Ryu before switching to Uechi Ryu and then learning kobudo - Wado Ryu is good for learning a good zenkutsudachi, which is the primary stance for bo, so I think you should do fine!
