I always have that in the back of my head as I have shown in other videos, but in this scenario it is pretty hard to reach out there and step on it since you are throwing his bo out there. It has to be a natural and instant thing to do therefore it has to present itself for you. In this case it is not. If I take the extra fraction of a second to force that to happen he has time to readjust and pull back. More important to hit him right away than to secure his Bo.
If I could leave one critique, I would recommend that after you deflect then swing the opponents bo, that you step on their bo as you strike the neck to secure their weapon. If that makes sense. Another awesome video, thanks for the upload. :)
In real life you don't have time and you won't leave yourself standing on a round object trying to balance to fight. Small movements - not big ones win the fight. Strikes to muscle mass and joints will quickly take the desire to resist from anyone. Above the knee to the outside of the leg will leave a huge welt and make it difficult to move. I know from experience :)
Hi Stephen, The style itself is Kyan when ti comes to the katas I do. As far as the body mechanics I use and teach it is the combined experience of my years, not 100% this or that.
I have done bojitsu for decades and even full contact in armor fighting - for real life use shorten your blocks and sweeps. You don't need to ground the weapon of the attacker just move it off center - then snap to the head. Big blocks give them time to change and a good fighter will even let go of the weapon with one hand and punch you. I know this looks nice but tighter and with more snap is what works in a real live situation.I do like your videos showing the adaptation of your traditional style to real events.
Mr. Lemus, you mentioned once that your style of karate is mainly Kyan family influenced. Is it by chance, Matsumura Seito? Or more along the lines of say..Matsubayashi Shorin? Thank you :)

Excellent technique, principles (and video production)! Thank you, Sensei Lemus!
Please make more of these! 🙇♂️

I liked it a lot! Good stuff as always.
Very good - thanks for posting.
I love the Bo!
Thank you for these great videos. Could you make some more about staff (not necesary bo), spear, naginata or any other polearm?
Are you kidding? He loves it.
