April 16, 201412 yr For any Shuri Ryu Kobudo Practitioners:I have yet to get the book, Extension of the Empty Hand Warrior.Looking at finding out additional information about theory of Bo, Sai, and Tonfa.I have most of it in my head. But would appreciate any written help you can give me... thanks.
April 16, 201412 yr I learned the basics of bo, sai, tonfa, and nunchaku when I trained in Shuri-Ryu, and learned some bo and sai kata. That said, I haven't really been focused on kobudo for the past several years. When you say "theory," do you mean how they adapt the weapons to empty hand techniques/kata? I might remember some, and I am still in regular contact with Shuri-Ryu people back home that I can ask about it, but asking your Sensei and taking notes would be better.

April 16, 201412 yr Author Thank you Wastelander... Yes, that is what I meant about theory... I have some composed in a word document, but I was curious to see what other's have to say, just to confirm notes taken... yes, I will take more notes.
