I shot a few more videos over the weekend practicing kobudo kihon out in the fresh air with MJ. Here’s another of the videos, practicing the set of 17 Basic Bo Combinations which is a set of kobudo kihon or basics. Kobudo is the use of traditional Okinawan Weapons including the rokushaku bo (6′ staff). These 17 basic bo combinations are composed of different sets of combinations of bo blocks and strikes.

I just Liked your Facebook page. Excellent kubudo. I wish my former Isshinryu sensei was more precise in the bo training prior to learning kata. Great technique!
