[@camiloiribarren1450]

The first kata i learned in Goju-ryu was Gekisai daiichi, then Sanchin kata

[@tonygallagher6989]

In wing chun, the first taolu (kata) is called sil lum tao, though various schools spell it differently. It contains many of the hand techniques of wing chun.

[@Yama_no_Kitsune]

In our school we have a set of Kihon Kata which are very basic moves walking forward and backwards; they are not exactly proper katas. Since we belong to Shorin Ryu, the first Katas we learn are Naihanchi Shodan and Fukyu Ichi. In Kobudo we have this kata, Shushi no Kon. However, it is the 7th Bo Kata we learn, not the first by a long margin.

[@Calico430]

I love this series on Okinawan karate. Thank you for sharing your experiences. The first kata we learn in Shorin Ryu Matsubayashi Ryu is Fukyugata Dai Ichi. The first bo kata I learned was Suisho.

[@manorueda1432]

Wow, it seems really complicated for a first kata, but it is quite interesting, it features all kind of movements in all directions, heights, poses and rotations, I've liked it a lot. In WTF taekwondo, our first poomsae (the equivalent to a kata) is the first part of poomsae Taegeuk (Taegeuk Il Jang), which includes some basic movements as the three main defenses (arae makki, a low defense similar to gedan barai, momtong makki, a middle defense similar to soto uke, and olgul makki, a high defense more or less similar to age uke), a direct frontal punch (momtong jireugi, to the middle zone, and olgul jireugi, to the high zone), a basic frontal high kick (olgul ap chagi, similar to mae geri, aimed to the head), a basic short frontal step and a large step, so it is a very simple first form but I find very pleasant and instructive, and I like practicing it again and again.

[@SwissSareth]

I like how he keeps saying "that's how *I* interpret the movement" rather than "you should do it that way".

[@gojustudent485]

He says that because he has tested it and has found that what he thought works. Alot of "sensei" say do it this way because they don't really know why and they can't tell you. They just expect you to do it.

[@khaosg.8181]

i've been training shito-ryu karate for about 9 months and have quite a big interest on Bojutsu. My sensei allowed me to take a bo home for a week as we will not have trainings for this time, now i'm trying to learn at least the basic sequence of this kata to show him :)

[@surgeeo1406]

I find it really inspirational when I see you struggle with a new kata. No matter how high your rank is, you're always a beginner when learning something new. That brings us all to an equal level.

[@charlessmoot6904]

I want you to know how much I have enjoyed your entire series on your visit to Okinawa and your willingness to share what you have learned with others. Having studied in Okinawa many years ago, I deeply appreciate being able to to see and hear many of the things I was introduced to there. You have brought a lot of content in the form of history, tradition, and authentic technique from every school and Master that you have spent time with. These lessons are invaluable, and I hope that your readers enjoy the depth of your commitment to sharing all that you have experienced there. This particular Sensei struck me as one of the most knowledgeable and humble of teachers. Please know that what you have brought to us is more precious than gold. Thank you!

[@KarateDojowaKu]

Wow!!!!! Thanks so much for your message! I will keep on making these contents for you all!

[@casparbosch5615]

It amazes me how, despite being older and probably less explosive than in his younger days, his movements are so smooth and so crisp. He almost never stops moving and if you are not carefull, this is certainly a pace where he could overwelm you. Amazing!

[@user-du8jg3oe8y]

こちらの先生の動画をみつけてから毎日稽古を始めてみてます 楽しいですね 動画で学べるなんてありがたいです サイ術にも興味がひろがってきました

[@whitewh1]

When I first started bo it took a while because you have to use both hands for every movement and have a very good awareness of space. Its my favorite weapon because its so challenging.

[@bhoomibhamani4290]

Yeah I agreed...

[@jamesbrick250]

Amazing content as always 👍

[@harikrishnanr9526]

This is the first bo kata ,which I have learned when I started my kobudo training in matayoshi system.

[@stevenhetletvedt4344]

These are great training videos especially for those who need the cójala demonstration and the verbal directions in front of them. Thank you Sensei.

[@bhoomibhamani4290]

I remember my first day in karate at the first day I learned about stances and blocks (-:use in kumite and some blocks we use in street fight :-) And after 1 month I learned first Kata name "Taikyuku shodan".....

[@TheShavedleggs]

Beautiful presentation, thank you

[@eugeniawagner8583]

A Bo lesson!! Yes! Thank you so much for this vídeo

[@eleventeen_gaming4403]

I’m actually learning this kata this helped a lot thank you

[@saravanant2710]

Very nice

[@kapilamasachchi1469]

Meka niyama bo kata ekak

[@chengfu7063]

Yusuke well done I just got through going over this again excellent adaptation this is the core Essence of fighting realizing you are it always changing up always adapting striking from any position remember weapons are easy a more effective way of getting the job done a little faster just understand this they only blocks and strikes peace fight on and be well on your Journey

[@filip1718]

Hey dude your videos amazing thanks for this ! 😮

[@KarateDojowaKu]

No problem!

[@Docinaplane]

It appears to be a very practical and functionally effective kata for the use of a Bo.

[@thomasda3482]

周氏棍法 。that is what I learnt .shushi no kun And there is variations ,Dai and. Shou

[@Burvedys]

In Goju-ryu, we are very simple: punch to the nose (jodan-zuki) and kick to the groin (kin-geri). The rest is just an overdoing for nerds, methink. :) As on the serious note, in Jundokan there are few steps in studying kata: first is basics and it's both gekisai and simple sanchin (as kihon); these might be preceded by a tribute to Shorin-ryu fukyu-gata (ichi and ni) and even tachi-gata on fukyu embusen but these are not proper Goju-ryu kata so not necessary and these are like taikyoku in Shotokan; anyway, this initial step is less of Goju-ryu per se but more of karate in general. Then next step is Goju-ryu essentials in saifa (for Ju understanding, side-steping as last time I wrote about boxer Loma style), seiyunchin (rooting), shisochin (hip rotations), sanseru (for Go understanding, straight-forward and aggressive) and sanchin dai ni (with turns, so it's a proper sanchin) and you learn through patience. Third step would be learning other kata, including tensho as Ju side of sanchin, and in deeper as you are black belt by that time and a black belt is just a prepared beginner that won't break as Uke (and you learn through pain, LOL).

[@Maaguaa]

I am practicing a short staff “kata” in my style Dai Xinyi 戴式心意拳 called 三棍。extremely simple, not much to look at. As name suggests it only has 3 moves

[@donelmore2540]

When I started in 1966, one of my first teachers, Henry Wilkerson, would try to teach us Taikyoku Shodan. However, at the Karate Club at Long Beach City College, we only had 15 minutes a week for Kata. Henry would yell at us “Practice!”because we couldn’t figure it out. Years later, when I had my own Dojo quit teaching Taikyoku Shodan as the students first Kata because I think it is too hard to learn when it is largely the same things in all directions. After students get used to doing Kata, Taikyoku Shodan makes more sense to them and is easier to learn. After I retired from my career and moved away, I had no one to train with so I would train in the park 6 days a week by myself. While in the park, I went back to work on Taikyoku Shodan. I often did it very slowly and really learned a lot. I developed my own interpretation, not changing any movements, but fine tuned the timing and tempo to make it more realistic as a fighting drill.

[@mattg5566]

Thank you for sharing. I will re-evaluate that kata when i get home tonight with those things in mind. I was taught that Taikyoku's purpose was to teach the basic kata pattern(embusen) and get beginner belts doing kata right away, with only one stance, one block, and one punch.

[@donelmore2540]

@@mattg5566 I think you are right as to its original purpose. I just found it difficult for me to learn as a beginner because of its repetitiveness. For that reason, I never taught it to beginners.

[@arragintdude2027]

Sanchin no kata is our first karate kata. At san kyu, you can start kobudo, with shushi no kon. There are slight variations as my sensei trained with Seiyu Shinjo and Kiyohide Shinjo in Kadena. Loving your exploration of Okinawan karate

[@toumiska]

I love Kobudo and learning it at my dojo, one point that got me like 🤯 is: "left leg is always the first and the last at the bow to go in or go out" Keep doing Kobudo i love your video😊

[@TheNakedWombat]

It's never easy to unlearn to learn. Always a challenge worth achieving.

[@grilledcuttlefish9837]

I am excited to start learning Japanese in September in college

[@irkenempire]

When I learned my first Bo kata in Matayoshi Kobudo they just called it Kihon bo 1. It's very repetitive and only changes directions three times. Having trained in a few different styles of martial arts, I can see the wisdom in both teaching a complicated form in pieces (20 plus unique movements) or teaching a simple form that has few unique movements but changes the orientation of the student several times making it a complete form. Luck in training.

[@Davideburricco]

I've seen this kata in underds forms. For example in my dojo is totally different. This is really intresting

[@judithreed1178]

I actually learned how to twirl a stick two years ago,so I went around in my Dad's junk yard trying to find the longest stick I could find,so I pretty much can twirl the longest stick over seven feet in height.

[@kevinreese8224]

I remember tapping my bo on the floor at a tournament because they said not to. Of course I was disqualified but it felt good to give them the finger 😄

[@PacShore]

First kata ever learned was when I started in Kajukenbo for a short period of time and I can't recall the name. As for your Bo kata, not bad for a first timer. When I was taught the bo, I was told to constantly "walk" the bo, which was to shift my hand placements along the bowhere appropriate for strikes and block. It is a way to manage the smooth movement of the bo, especially when it comes to rowing or spinning type movements with the bo.

[@jeffweese4551]

The first kata I learned was Niju Shichi Waza kata, the first technique I learned was kiba dachi followed by gedan barai. The first kobudo kata I learned was a Bo Kata we simply learned as "Bo Kata", it has very basic movements, focused on striking techniques and turning with the Bo.

[@OccamsRazor76]

Cool bo kata. In my Shito-Ryu dojo we start learning kobudo for brown belt and above (bo, sai, kai-bo). Our bo katas are Bo-No-Kihon Kata (first basic one), Sushi-No-Kon-Sho, Sushi-No-Kon-Dai, and Rohai-No-Kon (I'm still learning the last one). Except for how the bo is held I see a lot of similar movements in this kata and the bo katas we practice.

[@leejardine9582]

Thank you for all your content, it is really interesting to see a different kobudo style. We follow Motokatsu Inoue O'Sensei's system who was a direct student of Shinken Taira Sensei. The association of Ryukyu Kobujutsu Hozon Shinko kai is now run by his son, Kisho Inoue Hanshi who is based in Tokyo.

[@shihantemplet]

First kata I learned in Kobudo is this one. Shushi no kon. In fact we learn two versions of it.

[@ArieVisker]

In Wado-Ryu the first Kata is Pinan-Nidan and second Kata is Pinan-Shodan.

[@markc.jamila2386]

They have a long life and active sensei's very strong

[@Noone-rt6pw]

This is excellent! 😉. I prefer empty hand where it is not customary to carry a Bo, said, etc. However, many would carry a staff in different settings. As walking rough trails to help stabilize the walk. God made the perfect suspension in the foot, ankle, knees and hips, which car manufacturers can imitate but never duplicate, 😉. I also like how he tells what's happening why this and why that.

[@salvatoreplacidoplumari3840]

my very first kata which I learned was Naihanchi...I don`t remeber exactly when I have learned step by step this kata, a friend of mine showed it me....after I entered two jears ago a Shima Ha Shorin Ryu Dojo nearby Frankfurt am Main (Germany), I was introduced however by Fukyugata Ichi and Fukyugata Ni...

[@rafaelbarreto15]

[@Maaguaa]

[@shoreifpk]

Great kata- in shorei ryu I teach Tsue Sho first then Sushi No Kon

[@BelloBudo007]

At our dojo, which is Shotokan, we are just starting to revise Bo. We are starting with fundamentals & slowly working through a simple Kata. Then in 3-4 months we will work on a slightly more difficult kata for a Xmas demo at the dojo. Our approach is always step by step, until eventually members have a good grasp on the essentials and are ready for the harder moves in a sequence. Now I appreciate that IF you're on a flying visit to Okinawa or perhaps only get the one chance to train with a Sensei, that he might push you along. He might be thinking that when you return home to Tokyo, you can watch yourself on the video & gradually improve. BUT.... (notice the big but?) this Bo Kata certainly did seem tough to learn. I'm guessing, when you had your back to him, that his cues in Japanese helped a lot. I'm curious if there any differences with the Okinawan words and your Japanese karate words?

[@keitht.ridings9632]

Taikyoku Shodan is the first empty hand kata learned. Taikyoku Nidan is also learned at the first kyu ranking level. Shushi No Kon Sho is the first kobudo bo kata and is learned at the third level. The major difference between Shushi No Kon and Shushi No Kon Sho in our style is Shushi No Kon Sho does not use cat stances (Neko Ashi Dachi).

[@ShihanKevinpereira81]

This is how Hokama should've broken the Bojutsu down but instead they just waved the bo around like they were in a rush to go to a party lol. Beautiful work Sensei.

[@franciscoj5945]

IMKA branch, created a bo kihon kata to introduce you in Shushi No Kon, because its very difficult for beginers (also is not the first Kata on the curricular estructure).

[@snakeeagle6930]

If you can master this kata youll be jukendo ready and nanigatajutsu ready... I like to see you use the staff competatively...

[@AnYaDang]

First Kata - Heian Shodan… but I thought it was called Hand One for about 5 years. We also called this kata Bo One.

[@vincenzodevivo6409]

WOW

[@sirlysis]

This is interesting. It is different from our first bo kata, Shuji No Kon. This is much harder. But the first “kata” we learn isn’t really a kata. We learn some Yakazuki Kumite (spelling could be horrendous). It is a set of prearranged fight sequences with someone. You have to learn brother the uke and the tori parts. They are only 3-4 moves, and there are 3 sequences.

[@bihan6952]

Bujinkan. But we do not have such long kata, although there is a lot of work with weapons. We are learning the linking movement of defense and attack. If possible, I recommend to go to the Noda in Chiba Prefecture. There you can find out the difference in Bo Bujinkan

[@ralfhtg1056]

Maybe try the original version of Suuji no Kun as it is practised in Yamanni Ryu. This style is said to be the oldest Kobujutsu style of Okinawa and the origin of all more modern styles like Matayoshi Ryu.

[@renkumo3239]

Hi

[@donelmore2540]

If find it kind of funny how I have a strong appreciation for certain moves in Kata. In this Kata, for some reason I really like the little circle made with the tip of the Bo. I think it is a parry of the opponent’s Bo, but I like it. In Tekki Shodan there is a similar move after the double punch to the side (or punch to the side and block to the front depending on the interpretation). The extended punching hand opens and the wrist does a similar move to the Bo in your Kata here. It’s just a small move that really appeals to me. LOL

[@JaybayJay]

It can be used in many ways, parry a blow, deflect or trap a weapon and disarm, or a strike to the head. It can be what it needs to be. My sensei explained it to me that weapons kata and kata in general are designed to really give you the sense of motion and fluidity giving the grasps of fighting with that weapon. The forms designed to hone our skills to perfection including the hooking. As you notice there are time where he uses small circles, medium and large sweeping circles. They can be blocks, strikes, trips, captures or just decoys. The main thing is you practice practice practice and through that you become used to the weapon that it becomes natural in any stance or form... Ps... I like that move too because you have a firm grip on the weapon and a good strike to the head would sweep under the defense and clobber them should you need too.

What type of wood is the Okinawan Bo made of?

[@OccamsRazor76]

Red oak often. That's what mine is made out of.

[@kkarts9140]

Yes, Shureido, the main kobudo weapon manufacturer in Okinawa, uses red oak. Generally the wood bo is used for kata. A rattan bo, or kumi bo, is used for interactives when striking a partner. They are much more flexible and lighter than a wood bo.

[@OccamsRazor76]

@@kkarts9140 Yup. You can also do sai vs bo striking with the rattan bo and don't have to worry about the sai chewing your nice oak bo up over time.

[@Maaguaa]

They refer to the staff as 棍　(こん/kon ) instead of 棒　(ぼ/bo) as per name of the kata... interesting

[@johnfedd2616]
