The sensei in this video made what he was doing seem so effortless. Very impressive stuff.

[@Keithphotorama]

Great video, many excellent moves in such a short video.

[@AdlerMow]

Great! My grampa used to walk with a small hoe handle and he showed me some moves similar to these. He said it saved his skin twice against thieves and countless times against dogs! In one occasion a big dog tried to bite my pregnant grandma, he killed the beast with a single blow to the skull.

[@BruceKemper-n8d]

I’ve never studied Japanese Hanbo. Just Philippines martial arts. Really beautiful movement.

[@stardaggerrihannsu2363]

Hip shot at the end was pure beauty.

[@williampeckham9838]

Great stuff.

[@thedojomartialarts]

Thanks!

[@johnganshow5536]

I just ordered 2 self defense canes, can't wait to start practicing with them...

[@MagnetMagicGirl]

That little "have fun" at the end made me laugh!

[@thomasnugent3836]

Very good, thank you very much

[@Kurtie7]

Thank you....good for me... I have one arm... thank you again...

[@Mouse_Lyne]

2:10 he really smacked his man around there 🤣

[@francoismorin8721]

I like it! Well executed.

[@justshadowlastname9228]

1:47 the amount of ease he took that guy out with

[@Keithphotorama]

I like this video a lot, but any instructor with a lot of students would be able to move with ease. Especially a well choreographed demonstration repeated again and again. Therefore, the students would have to have the same repetition as the instructor.

[@jean-louispinard7481]

Superbe, surtout pour les marcheurs....

[@pedroguerrero3862]

These a very practical. these would be perfect for a very short spear like a assengei spear considering that it can cut with the blade and has a thick shaft.

[@Vazlist]

Nice techniques. Should work well using different stave lengths too, right, like some kind of tanbō, or a jō?

[@Ash-rc7et]

Awesome

[@MalTheBear64]

You'd be disconcerting at a Raised platform with a crossbeam🥃

[@jamesespinar2646]

Can you teach me how to become a trained assassin

[@blackheron7388]

May I ask a question, Sir? Why strike the weapon ,(which would damage or break the stick) instead of the attackers hand?

[@thedojomartialarts]

Sure. All of these katas can be adjusted on the fly to strike different targets. It all depends on the distance and what targets are closest or available at that millisecond. The hand is a great target that we hot a lot. We just smashed fingers last night in classes with the Jo. Hitting the weapon might disarm, shock or off-balance the opponent for the next strike. This snippet of the video is just showing one particular option. Good question!

[@blackheron7388]

@@thedojomartialarts Thank You so much. Best Wishes

[@monsantofungaro5704]

What if your attacker doesn't let go of the sword like he's supposed to?

[@thedojomartialarts]

Just move and attack the next target. Can hit head, wrists, fingers, arms, etc with strikes. This just happened to hit the weapon in this particular clip.

[@yessure5291]

Where was the cane?

[@thedojomartialarts]

Hanbo represents anything from cane to umbrella. Principles do not change if there is a small hook at the end. Thanks!

[@chriswilcox8977]

Not convinced on hitting the fastest thing with the hanbo, that knife is going to be darn hard to hit with full speed…though let’s be honest, if you see someone 8 feet away waving a knife and you have a big stick, anyone suggesting you wait for them to attack is missing a trick.

[@forteandblues]

I like some of the techniques but a few seemed impractical.

[@thedojomartialarts]

Agreed. We respect the old techniques that were written and practice them to try and find the lessons within them. That takes patience. We often discuss practicality in classes. What works better for the 21st century street, etc. Practicing all of the katas from the old masters allow one to be far better with weaponry. The idea is to build proficiency against any and all possible attacks. That is the whole point. Learn more techniques, become more well-rounded. Definitely better to just smash the bad guy and move on with the hanbo, but not always possible.

[@vixvixenmgeesnap]

REX KWON DO!!!!!

[@harper277]

Stop hitting that guy.
