isshinryu5toforever Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 You do Shotokan Karate, but you're learning a Chinese weapon? Am I missing something here? He who knows others is wise.

AustinG010 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Posted October 19, 2010 You do Shotokan Karate, but you're learning a Chinese weapon? Am I missing something here?At the dojo I train at theres a kajukenbo kung fu instructer and he teaches Chinese weapons to the ones who do shotokan, that is the ones who are intrested.
isshinryu5toforever Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Does he teach both Kajukenbo and Kung Fu/Chinese Chuanfa? or does he teach just Kajukenbo? I can see how the Quan dao would be in Kajukenbo, because part of the style is derived from Chinese Chuanfa, but Kanjukenbo is not Chinese Chuanfa. Kajukenbo was created in Hawaii, and I would consider it an American martial art, because it's an eclectic mix of the styles that were present in Hawaii. Those include martial arts from China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and the United States. Soap box rant over, good luck learning the Quan dao. He who knows others is wise.

Traffic151 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Currently working on the Tuifa, once I pass my next Dan, I have promised myself to start with the Eku. I have learned 3 Tonfa Kata (HamaHiga, MatsuHiga and Yaraguwa). Student of Isshin Ryu since 1984, currently studying Kobudo-focusing on the Tuifa.
sensei8 Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Drats. I'm not learning a new weapon at this time. I feel so left out!! **Proof is on the floor!!!
Spodo Komodo Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 I'm still completely in love with my Sai despite only knowing a couple of kata. I would like to learn some Jo as it is the most commonplace weapon available but I tried Aiki-Jo once and didn't really get on with it (too much flipping and rolling).
