Roxor Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 eku is a sweet weapon, but i havent seen many people talk about using it Technique is all that matters! NOT YOUR BELT!!
Andrew_Patton Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 yes, I have studied iyeku, and the other 11 weapons of matayoshi kobudo, for quite some time, and aparently under the same head instructor as you, Sensei Yamashita... good to see another one of his students on here.
armanox Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 Ahh, eku bo, I wish that I knew how to use it. My instructor learned how last time he was in Okinawa, but wants to learn more before teaching others. "Karate is NOT about the colour of belt you wear it is about the person you become;...to be a good blackbelt is to be humble and respectful amongst other things." -Dobbersky
Holland Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 I practice the eku as well. I have been learning it through the Kobudo class I take from the local Shito ryu instructor. Neat weapon.
lordtariel Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 My instructor teaches it and I plan on learning as soon as I'm comfortable enough with the bo. There's no place like 127.0.0.1
Brandon Fisher Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 I just ordered one from century to start working with it. But it is very light and not really a eku in my opinion to flimsy. How do I know about it being flimsy well it was delivered with the oar part broken in half. Brandon FisherSeijitsu Shin Do
lordtariel Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 What wood was it made out of? My sensei's one is made out of ash and seems to be pretty tough. There's no place like 127.0.0.1
Brandon Fisher Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 It ws the one made out of ash. Brandon FisherSeijitsu Shin Do
bbk2132 Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 at my school, black belts do a different weapon every semester, and that is what we are doing now and it is totally my favorite weapon ever!!!! And trust me, i've done a lot of different weapons "good enough is the enemy of excellence"Shodan Goju Ryu karate-do under Sensei Gene Villa
