Whats Your favorite weapons kata?


Recommended Posts

I dont have to many weapons katas. I have made some cool ones up on my own. To bad I dont have a vidoe camera. I never do them the same. I always forget a part and put another in. (I should start writing them down.)

 

My favorite weapon to do a kata with at this point is a bo. Like tonfas and sais also.

 

:wink:

The problem with my style of kobudo (IOKA Matayoshi Okinawan) is that most of the forms up to black belt as extremely simlar, and are basically the same kata with the different weapons(ni-cho-zai, tsun kuwa kata ichi etc.)

 

However, for the staff there are 'traditional katas' - such as Shushi-no-kon, Cho-un-no-kon, Sakagawa-no-kon, and Tsuken-no-kon.

 

I had to perform Cho-un-no-kon for my last grading, and have to do the bunkai for my next grading. But back to the topic at hand.....

 

I like Cho-un-no-kon because of the fact that it does not follow a set pattern (such as Shu-shi-no-kon), but instead attacks several opponents using different techniques.

 

Saka-gawa-no-kon is good to watch, and I have the resources to learn it - HOWEVER, I first need to learn kama hojo-undo ichi!!! EEEEEKKKK

Cho un no Kon is pretty cool. It is different from the other katas. I did Cho un for my brown belt kobudo grading. We do Sakagawa no kon for our black belt bo grading.

 

It is really different doing moves from the kneeling positon in Cho un.

Sai

 

Yeah, it is a bit odd doing the moves from the kneeling position - very uncomfortable.

 

Speaking of grading, I have to demonstrate the iyeku for my black belt - however, I have never used one!!!

 

Have you ever used an Iyeku? I would guess its pretty similar to the bo, except the suna-nage manover can be used effectively

No Tobias I have never had a chance to handle one.

 

We have a rather odd way of weapons grading in that each of the four weapons (bo, sai, tonfa and nunchaku) have their own belt rank.
