isshinryu weapons

[fireka]

i take isshinryu, in which we learn sai, tonfa, and bo. of course, im a ways away from learning a weapon, im guessing. but in what order do you think he would teach these weapons to us?

[karate_woman]

Well, of those three, we learned bo, sai, then tonfa, though it isn't strictly that way (ie. there are other bo kata after the sai and tonfa kata, and there are more advanced sai and tonfa kata we learn later (after black belt) too.

[AndrewGreen]

Isshin ryu has 2 sai kata, 3 bo kata and 1 tonfa kata (not always), sometimes a 3rd sai kata as well

 

Order depends on your school. You will learn either bo or sai first, and then the other. TOnfa comes much later (usually not required till 4th dan, but often learnt earlier)

 

Some groups do weapons before black, others don't do weapons until after black. Ask your instructor,

Some schools also teach a nunchaku and kama kata, though they are not isshin-ryu forms per se.
