HAMAHIGA + BUNKAI

[@carlosensei1]

Thank you for posting sir. I practice Isshinryu karate which includes Hamahiga no tonfa as its last kobudo kata. My question is this...Is the version on this video the original Hamahiga? I like the bunkai. Osu.

his version is of the Ryukyu Kobujutstu system of Motokatso Inoue sensei. Inoue sensei was senior student by Shinken Taira. The bunkai is a personal interpretation.

Carlos sensei, this is my first time seeing this video and as a recent (within the past 5 years) student of Hama Higa No Tuifa, I can share this is very similar to what I was taught. I learned the kata from 2 instructors, one of whom can be directly linked back to Shinken Taira. I hope this helps.
