This is really useful & the captions / side view help a lot! Thank you :-)

Usually it's considered bad form to hit to the head or neck with any weapon for mortal reason. More often than not there is no need to kill your enemy, now is there?

....DID YOU SAY TAMPON....???

Looking in from a different style, i always thought Shotokan DIDN'T suffer from the dreaded 'no contact' / distance-from-target training issues that many other styles accepted as inevitable. Guess I was wrong? About as wrong as just touching my opponents chin with an age zuki in a real encounter, muscle memory trumping tactical intent. Best advice: Train AS IF it were real, include pain, speed, distance, recovery, reset time. Then you have an effective (rather than theoritical) base for self-defense.

It supposed to be takedowns instead of long distance relationship 😅. Does everyone creating it's own bunkai in modern times?!

Thank you sir

Great post ty!

Two karate black belt ladies showing excellent Uke’s absolutely love your loud KIAI’S, would love to see more videos please, perhaps demonstrating your self defence techniques using karate against a male attacker, us female karateka would really appreciate it thank you, OSS...

WOW nice 💯.I am impressed. Total respects to the SENSEI

With the BS in Canada about protecting yourself..(criminals have more rights) I carry an ironwood cane for defense....legal...used it once on 3 punks...

did you record this in a tin can?

Absolutely love Hayley’s powerful kyuzakizuki targeting her attackers kidneys with loud KIAI’S, would love to know if Hayley got her karate black belt !...

Very nice, Tanbo has become favorite weapon.. I'm physically disabled some, my back, neck, and wrists are all screwed up lol so Tanbo I have found to be the easiest weapon to use with the least amount of wear and tear on my wrists and arms. I can likely defend myself pretty well with one if need be. It's also a practical, and legal weapon since it's just a stick, which to me makes it even better. I used to be heavily into the other Kobudo weapons but I just can't do them much anymore unfortunately. Tanbo has kept the practice going for me.

@Stafford Shotokan Karate, what belt is it taught?

Good quick overview. Thanks.

@staffordshotokankarate6659 Respectfully, there is various lengths of tambo that are used in different Japanese martial arts, so saying the tambo being used in this video is the "correct length" is really correct for "your school / dojo". Also, the thickness of the kali / escrima stick / club that you are using is not correct.. That chinese mass manufactured stick/club is too thick. Tanbo are 1 inch in diameter, that is the correct diameter for tambo sticks across all the Japanese styles including Shotokan. One thing you should do and a every enjoyable one is to have your students go out to a hardware store with your specifications on the the length and 1 inch diameter, and buy a wooden dowel. Most people can cut wood with a saw and sand down wood and it's more enjoyable as the student / practitioner uses a tanbo that they made and is more personal to them in the practice. Even a tambo made of pine, that is soft and light still make a formidable self defense tool and is 100% fine for practice.

Fantastic!
