Awesome. Great front-to-back, Maestro!

شكرا جزيلا ايها الاخوة

Awesome. Miss you guys. Keep training-

You are blessed to have that one to one with a martial arts treasure

I remember Sensei Seikichi Odo teaching this KATA . He was very particular on technique and application.

Where are you located? What is your website? I’m interested in learning more.

This is crazy , but very interesting at the same time

Tekki shodan!!! (in shotokan style)

I am impressed. Good video and presentation.

I find it interesting and practical, even pragmatic. Very energetic, no extra spinning, hands always in close contact with jo. Side blocks are something I like very much. This is real combat jo, no doubt. Thank you for sharing this short but valuable film.

That timing version of that kata was absolutely impressive. Well done!

Hah! I made the gate on the wall behind!

Good technique. Ich ni san would be helpfull in slower speed, to realize how the technique works.

Whats the idea with these? Is it to keep tension and apply force while doing this or do we have to try and relax while doing it

Thanks for uploading! Excellent resource for training

Great to see this, kihon is underestimated

Amazing stuff and never before seen. Thanks for sharing your exploration.

good.Please next exercise?

Very good video. Great points. 🙏

never heard of this style

Any advice for those of us that aren't so good at woodwork etc for finding suitable weighted bo/tanbo?

Very nice!

Thank you very much for sharing this nice combat Bo Kata! 👍🏾 I can feel the combat flow and energy in this kata! I love ❤️ it.

Outstanding Kata

Slightly different. We were Shorinkan until Sid Campbell broke away. But it's fundamentally the same. And we call it Naihanchi ichi-dan or number one

At least this shows more of the versatility of nunchaku than the spinning strike! I know a kata that comes from Fumio Demura nunchaku that shows a lot of blocks and traps that you want see in the movies!

Thanks for keeping the Ryute teachings alive. Jed Oyasato's student here.

This is a nice kata, I'm not too familiar with Jo kata but this was interesting and thank you for sharing this

sexy time. getting me all psyched up now. Kyoshi Cline and I plan on getting together this summer and working on this one. Great working with you at the seminar!

Is this a kata taught by Taika??

If Taika Oyata believed in it then you should always use it.

Howdy! I am pushing 70 years old and lived in Asia almost 50 years. I lived on Okinawa and studied with the so-called high Masters of Shorin Ryu. One Master particularly disliked Chinese martial artists and had a rabid racial dislike of them! JUMP! After figuring it out I went to TAIWAN FREE CHINA 1978. With Chinese letters of Introduction from my Teachers in California. Then I learned that these Okinawans sneaked off to Taiwan and paid huge sums of cash money to explain to them the kata bunkai that they never learned about and lacked the foundation. Yeah! Watching big shot 6-7-8-9 degree Black Belt Red belt “ masters” getting their asses kicked in GM HUNG’s old Di Wha Jieh dojo was shit loads of fun! Especially because I was a white American who was despite my eagerness to learn in Okinawa, was disappointed and dismissed by the arrogant Okinawan who pretended to know great “ secrets” but got slapped around silly by 2yr green belts in the Old Quarter

Fascinating, my own analysis of this kata gives almost identical principles to those in this drill.

I trained in boxing for a few years not competing but to Amatur competitive level I agree with you hitting open hand is safer and Arguably faster I regularly practice open hand on my heavy bag ive also done hand conditioning exercises over the past several years just incase i decided to go the punching my opponent route I just always loved punching which is why I personally cross trained in boxing aswel as Okinawan karate 👊

I can see the white crane influence 👍👍

Nice, I like this kata. We don't have it our style, and I've wanted to learn it. Yours is the best teaching video I've seen for it. Thankyou Osu!

I can't ever imagen how a looser fist could be safer on the wrists/knuckles... Much rather stick to open hand which many don't know how to fully utilize.. Observe different mma hand striking & experiment on various surfaces & it'll start making sense.. Only fist striking I feel good about are back fists

Very cool stuff man I really wish I could be a part!!

Whoever is doing the makiwara needs more training. Too extended, lower body and arms not lined up, elbows protruding out, shoulders up, etc. Not being negative just making observations.

I don't know man , it seems like you'll get your hand & wrist hurt, if you actually use that punching technique in the streets

Nice to learn, thanks!

Truthfully Awesome 🔥 I can see so many grappling with strikes bunkai in this style of nihanshi kata Motobu choki considered Nihanshi to be not just a kata within a style of karate but a style of karate all of its own In general terms we karate people do tend to underestimate the importance of Nihanshi ..

Years ago I began studying karate. We were taught by a 3rd degree head instructor and first degree black belt. When the head instructor demonstrated sparing against the first dan, he started bouncing on his feet, throwing jabs and crosses. No karate thrust punches or back fists. The first Dan tried defending with his karate style inside and outside blocks. He was getting tagged all the time. So when it came down to fighting, our head instructor abandoned all of his karate training and used western boxing techniques instead. After that class, I quit karate, bought a book on kickboxing, and started working on a heavy bag. I never regretted it!

Koei-Kan does this also. but our bogu men are starting to get a little worn out.

без практики это напрасная трата времени

I wish people would pronounce Nunchaku properly.

Got it at the end.... 🥋Oss!

Very well done Kevin, enjoy watching. I believe Taika would be proud of you. Continued success .

I practice the nunchaku and I like this concept very much. The catch in that nunchaku vise grip is quite painful. I tried it on a few in class and it was not making anyone happy ... So you did say something in your intro that I really hope you will elaborate on. You mentioned 2 nunchaku kata? Are these from Master Oyata ? I would be very interested to see the second kata if you would be willing to demonstrate. Thanks for sharing this
