      Hmm why US as it is basically the weopon of choice for the police force. Ok they are known as police batons...but it is actually a tonfa. I remember ordering us police style batons for my policemen buddy here in Germany who trained back then in our dojo alther back then in the 90s they where against the law here in Germany

    • @JuliannaHolmes
      @JuliannaHolmes 4 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Yes it was adopted by many police forces. I was thinking specifically within martial arts competition. It is not performed as often as the Bo, nunchaku, and Kama.

      I kinda doubt it would be that deadly but it would hurt a lot to get smacked around with them tho the police model is designed to not be deadly it’s a little flexible to have more give (so you don’t go around obliterating jay walkers)

The only thing that disappointed me about my study of Tonfa is that there were literally only two katas I was taught. I hope I can get back in and discover new ones some day!

      @sergeymartunyuk4507 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Вам давали базу.Сразу нельзя изучать много ката.Это можно только в одном случае, если вы выбрали тонфа , как профилирующее оружие.Это как было раньше бо в Ямани рю. Чтобы не говорили сенсеи, тонфа и ката все равно пришли из китая, это потом стали создавать что то свое, кихон, методику преподавания.Что то у японцев брали.Но классика китайская и там было всегда все сложнее.Окинавцы упрощали их версии. И в старинных школах ученики изучали 1 ката, максимум 3. Как правило в 1 ката закладывалась вся стилевая техника школы. Все остальное баласт, отвлекает.
      Но так устроен человек: ему не надо много, ему надо больше.

    I’m so glad you posted this! I’m researching how to size and select my tonfa. I’m able to start learning how to use them this summer after I get my Red Belt in Tang Soo Do!
    I’m excited, but my master told me they hurt and I’m probably not going to like them. I’m just hoping to learn as many weapons as possible.
    I don’t want to have the knowledge die. My master might be one of the few traditional teachers left in this generation. Soaking up as much as possible!

    Jesse Enkamp really is just a martial arts genius. The fact he can perform near flawlessly and remember all of these unique katas with and without different weapons is just incredible.
    My previous little karate dojo only had us focus on 10 primary kata and today I can only remember about 4 all the way through! I did shift to mma for a few years so kata was of course not in the training so some my form has gone a bit.

    My favorite Enkamp video! The Hama Higa I learned has identical kihon but different sequence, and a few moves are also in Geksai, another tonfa kata.. I will suggest to my sensei that we get those pads to practice the bunkai. One kihon you missed: You can grip the tonfa by its long end and use the handle as a hook for groin, neck, limb, or opponent’s weapon (as with sai).
