Watching your experience is a learning experience for any instructor, coach, or sensei! Growing up, I learned kobudo alongside karate, so it's important for me to observe your difficulty as a first-time learner to better teach others who might share your difficulties. It's also nice to see Enkamp Sensei's program and how it compares to what I would do... I'm always happy to see karate thrive because we benefit from each other's success!

Bo is very interesting, in my opinion. It contains most basic principles and teaches the control of shoulders and tanden better then karate. Yusuke, maybe this Bo is just too heavy for you? You say it is so heavy... My sensei's sensei says that if the weapon is to light, there's no force, and if the weapon is too heavy, it's too much tension.

Ganbatte! Just keep at it and don't try to cram in too much new stuff at once. While I haven't started bō in any formal capacity yet, I've spent years on its smaller relative, the jō (from Aikidō); some movements/techniques take a very long time to master (particularly ones that require big moments of some parts of the body at the same time where other parts of the body have to do small movements). Regarding the movements that require wrist rotation (specifically those with a thumb-forward grip: "junte" as we call it in aikidō; "gyakute" would be the grip with the thumb pointing toward yourself) maybe try inclining your grip a little so you can point your index finger along the bō, then think of your index finger as the axis of rotation. Last tip, with junte, the grip strength should be in your pinky (small) finger and ring finger; so try to strengthen those two fingers. It doesn't need to be anything complex, just start doing routine tasks that you would normally grip with most of your fingers, but instead just use those last two fingers (with thumb still engaged, as appropriate).

Thank you ..interesting

Hello Yusuke, Good job on the bow Katz, and remember, if your not sweating while doing your kata's, then your probably not doing them correctly:-)

I'm glad you went to Okinawa. I think it's essential for any Karateka to learn from the original Okinawan styles to gain a greater understanding of the art. Japanese Shotokan, Kyokushin, and Wado Ryu are all good, but they are all oriented around Japanese culture and lost much of the Okinawan and Chinese influence

@KarateDojowaKu

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks!

You did an admirable job. One suggestion you may want to try: You basically hold the bo in thirds, but your hands are a little wide. You should be within the middle 1/3, with a full 1/3 free and clear on either end. This will allow you to use more hip rotation and less shoulders. It will also help your blocks feel more natural. Ganbatte!

Okinawa: You couldn’t live with your failure... Where did that bring you?

Very Good demonstration, Thanks Sensei. Are the Okinawan Weapon kata and Karate Kata consistent with the structure and mechanism of movement? If there is a difference between each other, what is the difference?

@KarateDojowaKu

From my short experience with the Bo, I think most are similar! It's just that you have to be more precise with your hands when doing Kobudo.

Nice! Still looks like a complicated first kata to get into kobudo but more power to you. Quick question: you mentioned the weight, which should not be that heavy in my experience, but what about the length? It looks like a bit too long a bo to practice kobudo form the video, but I could not get a good look at it. In my style the recommended length is your height + 1 or 2 inches at most.

Does Jesse explain WHY you have to do the movements in a particular way? I feel like traditional martial arts don't explain the WHY of the movements enough. The WHY helps us to better get the HOW of the movement down, imo. You look great while doing that. I so want to learn a weapon system.

Please make one video in using tanden 🙂🙏🏻

Haven't paid much attention to the block with the wrist rotation before, or a weight lifting bar or heavy rubber bar could be harder, wooden swords could be pretty heavy, at least paint scrapers are pretty good exercise without as much internal karate exercise though. Although really a short blade in the off hand like Musashi in the pictures, or even a longer sword sometimes, wouldn't be as heavy in real life? With a nodachi and katana, lol. Or a field sword and long sword, although musashi said something about spears being generally good for the battlefield in the five rings, while talking about two swords though. Or naginata, or poleaxes with armor or medieval knight in full harness anyway, although the naginata looks like it could be hard to beat in the field even if the blade chips or breaks. Or at least could be good with a spike on the bottom rather than alot of greataxes maybe for solo combat so it doesn't get as stuck, as can happen with the stabbing rather than the cutting sometimes, which could be what the axe part in poleaxe is more about than cutting? Or especially with the long nodachi sometimes, rather than a double or triple kill with one swing, unless they're all lined up on the chinese three man tandem military land skis. Unless you can back up faster than they can impale themselves to the hilt of the blade, or aim higher. Unless you pivot or shoulder check through and unsheath into another swing, although the nodachi I saw had a pretty good curve on it as well. Would imagine you'd wonder about a ten foot field sword getting stuck on things alot though.

Ok, I get that you have a vested interest in promoting online learning. That being said, if you are truly serious about incorporating weapons into your overall martial arts study (I think a complete martial artist must be able to have solutions for unarmed striking, grappling, and clinch as well as armed fighting), I think you ought to get a live teacher and start advancing in whatever system they have. Fortunately, the way kobudo generally organizes itself allows one to practice whatever unarmed system they wish.

Is your channel monetized? Did you compensate the Masters that shared their knowledge with you? I personally think it is not good to show the public any of this. We have seen what police and others have done in the states killing innocent black people with martial art technics. Everyone is making money or wants to be known or famous but violence has increased everywhere and now people of ill character worldwide know how to damage or even kill innocent and righteous people. You even complained publicly about someone laughing at you but you have a black belt. In my opinion this is not the way. The other European as with his karate channel I believe is very disrespectful because he was given the gift or karate and then tells the world it does not work be click bait his page for lives, subscriptions, and money.
