Lü Bu Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 Does anybody know if Shudokan Karate uses any weapons preferably tonfa. Gold belt in Shudokan karate-doyellow belt in Okinawan Kobudo
Shudokan Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 Lu Bu: Shudokan does do weapons. Tonfa is one of these weapons. We use the traditional weapons of Okinawan farmers/peaseants. I do not visit this site often, but I will try to check in if you have further questions.

tommarker Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 Shudokan, I'd be interested to hear the Shudokan perspective on how these weapons came to be. I.E.. the origins of the sai, nunchaku, tonfa, etc. Does Shudokan generally think that these weapons evolved from farm equipment, horse bridles, millstone handles, etc? No ulterior motives here, I'm just curious. Some schools have some very diverse opinions on where these weapons come from, but it doesn't change the fact that they are very effective.. fun, too I'm no longer posting here. Adios.
