Hardstyle bo kata

[parkerlineage]

I'm looking for a video (preferably online) of a hardstyle bo kata that I could learn even a fragment of, so that I can better show when I do demos the difference between the Chinese and Japanese bo kata.

Thanks for your help.

This place has some videos. I know the shu shi katas and these appear to be pretty good. I don't know if I'd recommend the place for learning the katas, but it's a pretty good reference.

Do you know any bo kata already?

[parkerlineage]

Yeah, but they're all Chinese. I want to show the difference when I do demos and the like.

I know of a seriously difficult japanese bo kata called (I can't think of the Japanese name) "wind demon"... I stared in awe as it was performed. something that is a tad more standard would be (sorry about the lack of Japanese name once again) "twelve winds".

Heres one:

Eku Kata some movements don't look like they are that traditional others are very traditional and I am not sure of what kata this is but thought it might help:

Here's one that is very traditional from the shorinkan:

Hope this helps a little..

Why does "Heian Shodan" look exactly the same as "Seke Hyung Sam Bo" in Tang Soo Do?

Heian Nidan also looks fimilar, but I haven't learned all Tang Soo Do hyungs yet .

Myth,

Alot of systems have created their kobudo or weapons kata to fit their system. Many have modeled the kata from the empty hand versions. I have done this with my weapons system also to a great extent but not totally.
