The kobudo kata EIKU NO HO performed at Manza Beach, Okinawa, Japan. This is Ryuei-ryu Kobudo. Visit www.karatebyjes... for more info, videos and the blog!
Eku is the most fearsome weapon of my people...kobudo is a tough art to defend against. My mom is a black belt in Okinawan karate and she said her teacher kept an eku in the house for defense.
His handling of that weapon reminds me of various japanese swordfighting schools; he really "cuts" with the eku and he seems to use several kamae ("ready postures").
This kata is SO similar to the one I learned “Eyak”. I don’t know about the spelling, but my shotokan sensei says we got it from shorin-ryu. It’s nice to see another version of my kata!
