ConsciousEffect Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 short sword and shield gets no love on this sight why? there must be a martial art that covers it, and if not then get inventing guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Well, the lack of popularity of it is one problem. I know that there are some Medieval re-creationists that have worked on the style, but they are pretty spread out, and the groups tend to be relegated to larger cities.If you check out https://www.thearma.org, you will get pointed in the right direction. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallgeese Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Look for a local SCA group as well. I used to play with these guys and it was a ton of fun. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traymond Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I know in some variations of Matayoshi and Yafu Kobudo they practice the timbei (The tanto and shield). It is very beautiful, but had to master, usually I nor my teacher teach it until your know four kata in Sai, Tuifa, Manji, and Eku, just to make sure that your capable of doing it nicely. The popularity of it died down when alot of the older teachers died. To fear death is to limit life - Xin Sarith Azuma Phan Wuku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlan Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Not sure if it's so much the popularity, as the ability to perform. At a certain point, age and shoulder injuries preclude the shoulder roll. Leaves fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traymond Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Well with the timbei, the shield is extremely small almost like the top to be crock pot would be the exact size, so age shouldn't have must to do with performing timbei, maybe if your considering medieval styles.

Harlan Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Can't find another example (of Matayoshi or Gakiya sensei), but here is a sample of the kata (with shoulder roll). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKvSKBBN0ko&feature=channel_page Leaves fall.

Traymond Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hmmm my shield is bit smaller than that, and I use tanto somtimes wakizashi.But I am also a practicioner of Uechi Ryu, and my teacher is older and he cannot do alot of the 'jump backs' so he refers to what his teacher tells him.Study Old man Karate and Old man Kobudo when you are old man.So if it was that bad on someone's shoulder they could just remove that and improvise with another technique. That shouldn't be a reason to stop doing it. To fear death is to limit life - Xin Sarith Azuma Phan Wuku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlan Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Well, if I ever get the opportunity to learn it, this old lady will keep that advice in the back of the mind. Leaves fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
