Une chose que je trouve remarquable dans Kuro-obi world est l'humilité de ces maîtres : Bien que ce soient tous des experts de trés haut niveau dans leurs disciplines, ils n'hésitent pas à prendre une posture de débutant pour apprendre de leurs confrères au risque de mettre à mal leur image d'invincibilité. Cela dénote un esprit supérieur, non polué par l'ego. Le pratiquant ordinaire a beaucoup à apprendre de cette pratique. Merci Kuro obi world de nous permettre d'avoir un aperçu de ces merveilleux maîtres !

This is outstanding material. Thank you very much for posting this. As only recently (within the last 3 years) learning the basics of this weapon, I have come to enjoy training with it. I wish as others have to visit Okinawa to train. The twirls are my toughest to master due to my arthritis but the toifa has very quickly become one of my favorite kobudō.

Great video, I myself have practiced Isshinryu karate for 25 years. Tonfa is the first weapon we train in. One thing we do with the people who are just learning is make them put baby powder on their hands. This will help condition the webbing of their hands (less torn up skin= more training)for spinning the tonfa as well help teach stopping.

@@markceaser8073 I enjoy reading Mr. Smith's thoughts and memories on Facebook, Solid dude! For a few schools tonfa was optional, in ours it was required. There are two different versions of our tonfa kata, in our dojo we learned the short form of hama Higa no tuifa kata. At the time we learned it we simply called cheifa. I have since learned the long form. I still prefer the short form.

@@vulcanraisin8859 I have had the fortune to train with Smith sensei a few times. He's pretty much retired and living in North Carolina now. However, my sensei, Bart Ganster, and one of his associates, H.P. Henry, studied under him for years, and have helped me greatly. I've seen cheifa, however after talking to people, such as Sloane sensei and getting input from Advincula and Carbone senseis, I do the full version of Hama Higa No Tonfa to avoid any confusion.

If you order a pair, go for the more bulky squared ones. They're heavier and better for training. The slim cylindrical tuifa are more for competition. You would never stop a full swing from a rokushakubo with such flimsy things.
Interessting explanation. We use a "police-tonfa" at work and have only one tonfa, not two. Our movements are slightly different. We hide behind our tonfa. It's in "kamae" allways in front of us. Our "police-tonfa" has more lenght and weight, and it's no wood. This stopping is for us not really possible and not our concern, as we go through our target. However, this stopping is very good and important for safety in sparring. As we have only one tonfa, we can use both hands at receiving and use trapping, if we close in. Locks are also possible.
@jimmyhohk2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your illustration. I was wondering why the US police force selected Tonfa instead of a club as part of their gear. Iha-sensei said it would take at least three years of practice before one can use it properly and effectively. How long would a police officer be trained in a US police academy to use this weapon, I wonder.
@stephanmitph2 жыл бұрын
@@jimmyhohk, the main methods are blocking and hitting. Young people with good coordination learn this really fast. Trapping and simultanious hitting is a little bit more difficult, locking (if someone takes a grip on you) even more. I'm not in the US, but we have a training course for beginners at work. It is one week with 40 hours of training. After this you need regular training. Not very talented people have problems with alot of techiques, but hitting is possible.
