  • I was wondering if they also have a video on the Rokushaku Kama.....Kama on the end of the bo.

    I learned two Kata on Okinawa in the area of Tengan

  • No, just the nunti.

  • GREAT VIDEOS!! thank you for posting them! I have one question for you though...how do you determine how long the handle should be for the kuwa. thx again!

  • My memory may be off, but I think we used 1 hand-width above the hip - I remember buying an garden-variety hoe at the hardware store and cutting it down to size, but not the exact amount I removed.

  • I wonder if these things are availiable at the martial-arts store.

  • A hardware or farm supply would be a better choice - even if you don't find one with a heavy metal blade, you can practice with the same model you use in the garden.
