Nakaima no Sai Dai Ni Application

[Wastelander]

I'm not sure how popular the Nakaima family kobudo kata are outside of Ryuei-Ryu and the Shorinkan, but I figured some people might practice them, and find this interesting. It's a pretty simple application, but we've found that many people don't ever give much thought to the application of their kobudo kata, so maybe it will help someone out!

I quite liked it; I do not practice the Nakaima family kobudo kata but it looks as though it has some interesting stuff in it. Must say, when I have encountered that double strike before; I have utilised my lead hand to control their weapon, and the other to strike at an opening, have never seen it as a double strike like that before. Definitely something I had not considered before.

My only critique, if it can even have such a grandiose name, would be I cannot say I would try to take a bo strike to the head by blocking it head on with a cross block; I would definitely slip the move. However, one has to concede with it being an application of a kata, you can only work with what the kata gives you before you become disingenuous.

Thank you for sharing it.
