@hempev - Sorry for not being clear. I was referring to a blocking side after the second gedan block, Shihan performs a "clearing move" to get the bo out of the way for the counter attack.
-
@AllOfUsLoveSpam There is some give or play to a wooden weapon that is expected.
-
Even in the real-time demo, the weapons look like they will break any second!
-
@AllOfUsLoveSpam I haven't had anything break in bunkai, which is the step before any sparring, but I have not done sparring, and Shihan has broken some during that. I imagine if you use any weapon in life-or-death combat, the greater force is more likely to break it, and obviously wooden weapons will do this before metal ones! Tonfa have been used against swords, and they can survive a direct strike, but pretty soon they are shredded - no personal experience, just what I have seen and read.
-
So, in REAL combat, is it uncommon at all to see weapons break?
-
@AllOfUsLoveSpam Cheap ones are the most likely to break, but a sempai did break a Shureido tonfa in class doing pushups. I've already had a few bo break, but again, they were not very expensive!
-
I have another question. In your dojo/class, have any weapons broken? That is, in full power combat, can a weapon break, even if it is of good quality?
-
@AllOfUsLoveSpam Gyaku gedan harai uke, usually at the same time as lifting the forward foot since the sweep passes in front where the foot "was"

These sparring techniques are great! My students love practicing them.
They are very impressive at public demos. Way better than people whirling sticks.
Question - It's obvious the clearing move opens the opponent for the counter but also can dislodge the Bo from their hand. You get this dislodge effect if you clear away from the palm. The Gedan attacks clears the opposite way and makes you vulnerable to a counter attack. Is there a reason for doing it the opposite of the other clears?

@trosanelli The hojoundo uses switching of hands to get practice with both sides, but sorry, I am not Shihan, so I cannot give you technical reasoning. Also, I do not know what you mean by "clearing move" - do you mean uke or uchi?
