I first watched this video two months ago, and several times since then. Every single time I see it I am completely blown away. This is exactly how I want my karate to look.
Outstanding Tonfa Kata! Solid stance, incredible kime and control of the Tonfa - a pleasure to watch such quality kobudo over and over.... Thank you very much for posting Jesse Sensei!
That was Terrific. I'm pretty sure that introduced to this Okinawan kata some years ago at a Seminar but didn't get enough time to get it. This is a wonderful opportunity to study it and hopefully take it on board. Great stuff. Thanks for posting.
I know this is like a month late but i'm currently learning Matayoshi Kobudo, there's also Okinawan and Ryukyu kobudo according to wikipedia, but my knowledge only extends as far as Matayoshi style at a pretty basic level. I don't know if it's very well known elsewhere and i'm by no means a martial arts master but i'm beginning tonfa training at 4th kyu, which seems to be the standard for most dojos. You should definitely see if there are any instructors in your area!
I have noticed that I veiwing hamahiga nó tonfa that there are quite a few subtle differences. This is common between associations and nothing new. Is there a 'gold standard' or original version we should see jesse?? I tried to teach myself this off your kata on your tonfa video , so would appreciate a nod it the right direction. Thanks
+mike while you make a good point, can be attested to by the use of the PR-24, i believe the jo has a more practical foundation, as it can be applied to a pool cue, broom handle, umbrella, etc.
So smooth and effortless...true mastery.

Thank you for posting the video of Nakamori Sensei. Not only is he phenomenal, but he's a great guy too! Miss those guys.

Coooooooooooooooooool.
Quá tuyệt vời!
Left out the last aya-furi (figure eight) combi at the end?
I am interested in learning how to use tonfas anyone know what styles I can look into?
This is all the more impressive if you actually know how difficult it is to spin a tonfa that smoothly...
Holy smokes ... who is this? He spins those things like he has ball bearings in his hands.
Why did you have to write that?
tonfas are the most practical martial arts weapon i can think of, even more than the sword imho

Ouch... Who knew that two sticks of wood could hurt so much.
...? I'm not sure if you're annoyed that I gave you a painful image or that you think I'm being sarcastic. Because I think it'd be insanely painful.
The first person to get smacked around with a Tonfa
'Cause it's a damn painful image! With something that thick, just the pain that you would be feeling.
*As
lol, yeah
definitely. you're probably get your organs injured with something like that. and bone bruising...
as well as every other guy who's been hit with a tonfa.
... .can u imagine how painful it' be to be stabbed with a blunt stick of wood? = =;
yes you can spin them anyone who knows how to use them can do it i been using
them for over 5 years so i know what i talking about
