Nunti-bo

[Tobias_Reece]

Sai

 

I have never actually seen a chizikunbo, only in books.

 

They are basically knuckle dusters, but are held on the inside of your hand

 

Oh wait....I think they can be held on either the outside or inside.....oh I dont know.....I just know they're about 4'' long

 

Hope this helps

 

Oh Jiggy, I do recommend getting a book called "techniques of self-defense Stick Fighting" by Masaaki hatsumi and Quintin Chambers.

 

The book is all based on self-defense using different sizes of sticks.

 

Hope this helps (I like that saying)

Yes Moobrak, they looked interesting. Like a wooden stick with a rope inserted at 2 points through the middle of the stick forming a loop handle.

 

I couldn't see anything about how long they were, thanks for that bit of info Tobias.

 

There is also a book by Takayuki Kubota on the kubotan - the self defense key chain stick.

 

It is based on the yawara a stick held in the hand to be used as a weapon just long enough to have ends sticking out of both ends of the fist.

I found a list of katas for the nuntibo on a search through a bunch of web sites.

 

Matayoshi No Nuntibo

 

Uhugushiku No Nuntibo

 

Tsuken No Nuntibo

 

No details just a list.

I had heard of the kata Matayoshi-no-nunti. It was made by Matayoshi Sensei, the ex-head of my style

 

Tsuken is an island somewhere near okinawa. There is a bo kata called Tsuken-no-kon. I think they may be the same kata, as some nunti kata are just bo kata.

the nunti bo sounds very interesting. Have you started training in it yet? how does it handle?

I kind of wonder how the manji sai is attatched to the end of the staff?
