bushido_man96 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I have never done that. I've worked on some sword and shield, but not a knife or spear. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorin Ryuu Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 (edited) Yes. We do the Kanigawa no Timbei form.Edit: Originally, I accidentally wrote "Anigawa." It is indeed Kanigawa.

Neo Dragon Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I like this weapon and Id like to train with it; but I can find anywhere that sells it. Anyone know of a place where I can find one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordtariel Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I believe I've heard of it, but that's about it. What nation and style does it come from? There's no place like 127.0.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorin Ryuu Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 The tinbei is a small shield used in conjunction with a small spear, the rochin, and originates from Okinawa. The "style" would just be weapon arts of Okinawa, such as Ryukyu Kobudo.The origins are straw hats coupled with potato diggers (short sticks). Alternatively, pot covers were also used. As a result, this tended to be more of a farmer's weapon, but there were a few in Shuri who would specialize in it. I've seen a lot of people use machete-like blades, but that's pretty different from how it used to be.You can get fancy with buying it, such as Shureido, but you can make them pretty easily. That, or buy yourself a big Chinese straw hat and use a short, sharpened piece of round wood.

Andrew_Patton Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 http://www.midwestkarateacademy.com/tinbeturtle.jpgMy own personal timbei crafted of purple heart and made to look like a turtle shell... a little to fancy for daily use, but I like having it we practise Matayoshi no timbei as out timbei kata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
