Tsuken Sunakake no Eku/Kai 津堅砂掛のエークー/櫂

Here's our version of "Tsuken Sunakake no Eku/Kai" [津堅砂掛のエークー/櫂], for participants at my Toronto seminar ...
Here’s a link to our 2-person Eku-based practice performed at the Kyōto Butokuden [apologies ... poor quality film it was] shot more than 30 years ago.
• Eku vs Bo DNBK April 1988 .

Impressive! I'm just reading one of Patrick's books "Ancient Okinawan Martial Arts" vol 2. I'm assuming it's the same Patrick McCarthy! Have a few questions about the activity of some of those early Masters and their involvement during WW2. I know about Gogen Yamaguchi and Mas Oyama but there are several others I'm curious about. Will be purchasing a few more of Patrick's books; they are well written and gives one insight into a totally different world, cultural mindset and it's priorities. Fascinating stuff!
