Masterclass Kobudo (6) DVD SET with FUMIO DEMURA
Sensei Fumio Demura studied under Japanese Grandmaster Ryusho Sakagami and Okinawan master Kenshin Taira. Demura has won the All-Japan Karate Freefighting Championships (1961), twice been voted into the "Black Belt Hall of Fame" and is recognized the world over as one of the premier martial artists of all time.
VOLUME 1: NUNCHAKU - The nunchaku consists of two pieces of wood of various lengths that are joined together by rope (originally horse hair) or a chain (originally the “bit” from a horse’s bridle) to create a formidable weapon of self-defense. Audiences are consistently impressed with martial artists’ dazzling and innovative routines using the nunchaku. In this video, Fumio Demura sensei teaches proper grips, stances, swings, strikes, blocks and a basic beginner’s kata.
VOLUME 2: BO - features grasping, striking techniques, blocking actions, kata, maneuvering and practical application.
VOLUME 3: TONFA - Originally adapted from an Okinawan farm implement, martial artists today use the Tonfa to perform kata (techniques) and as a practical weapon. Former national free-fighting champion from Japan, a member of the "Black Belt Hall of Fame" and Kobudo authority, Sensei Fumio Demura teaches proper grips, striking techniques, stances, defense moves, attacks and other techniques that will improve your overall skill and coordination.
VOLUME 4: SAI - features proper grips, attacking movements, defense techniques, kata, maneuvering and application.
VOLUME 5: KAMA - The Kama is a sickle that Okinawan farmers used to harvest their rice crops. Unlike other tools such as the bo and sai—which are normally made of wood or bamboo—the kama has a sharp cutting edge. In this video, Fumio Demura sensei teaches the fundamentals of proper kama use, including proper grips, strikes, stances, counters and defenses.
VOLUME 6: EKU - The Eku bo - also known as the Kai - is an oar used by Okinawan fishermen. Most of the techniques for using the eku bo are much like those of the bo, another Okinawan weapon. In this video, Fumio Demura sensei covers basic stances, proper grips, defense movements, blocks and counters. A basic “beginner’s” kata is also covered in this volume.
