I have the Higaonna training video. He teaches all the hojo undo equipment and also stretches, etc. I think it's an excellent video. I bought mine from: http://www.dragon-tsunami.org/Tsunami/Pages/section1.htm#ptraining I made my own chiishi and rather than nigiri game I improvised by taking the new plastic Folgers coffee containers and filled them with cement. I don't know if you can buy these anywhere but the states, but if you can, for me they are ideal. The grip on them is fantastic. I try to use my implements at least once a week. Good luck. Carl
