@charly0vm I believe if you check, he refused the 10th Dan because he felt he was too young. He was awarded Ju Dan posthumously. I just did a quick Google search and found this on several sites "Shogo Kuniba was awarded Judan, (10th Dan) posthumously by the Japan Karate Federation (JKF).". So in essence when he was alive and in this video he was in fact a Ku Dan.
Awesome!!! Soke Hayashi was a true master. His Okinawa Kobudo Kenshinryu style is still practiced by many dojos in Osaka, even dojos that are not Hayashi-ha, like Nambukai, Tani-ha and others.
@hosinw If I remember correctly, Hyashi pactices Kenshin Ryu Kobudo. He is (was?) also the headmaster of Hyashi-Ha Shito Ryu Karate. He had been heavily involved in trying to get Karate established as an Olympic sport.
@Toyomata LOL, very good point. It begs the age-old question...if someone defeats you in a fight, was it because they were that good at fighting, or because you were that bad?
@gojuryukarateka Shogo Kuniba 9th Dan in the white gi was no slump either. I attended some seminars with him over the years and he was an excellent practitioner.
These are Bunkai designed to teach the practicioner muscle memory. Yes a real fights going to be different and both parties are going to be injured, but as the Art of War says victory through any means is still victory. And @ andyhug, the katana gets stabbed through the leather but because of the grip in the hide all that happens is the katana guy gets outgrappled.
@FalcoStellare Obviously it has worked. -.- Or else people in the past won't even bothered to create techniques to use it. Infact all this exotic weapon and their techniques is to fight back Katana or other form of swords.
In the tinbe-rochin section, why is he using tanto rather than a more common rochin?Is the use of Japanese blades a Kenshinryu thing? Or is it common to Okinawan Kobudo generally?
@Alex Vannini, it has been done... Man versus man, one with a sword, the other with an ore. The man with the ore won. This is only one of the stories I know of, and I'm sure there's more of them that I haven't heard of. As long as the weapons, let's say a tonfa or a nunchaku for example, are made of hard wood, such as teak or oak, or metal of some kind, so that they can take some strikes with a sharp blade, there is a chance of getting out of the fight, and also win it.
it wasn't just any man. It was Miyamoto Musashi who defeated Sasaki Kojiro with a Boken carved from a boat oar. The reason he was able to defeat him is made sure the oar was an inch and a half longer than Sasaki's Odachi.
@charly0vm LOL, I know that I have CRS and am getting a bit older- thanks for the vote of confidence!! ;-) See my comment immediately below this reply. Gambatte!
Like everything else, it's only useless if you don't know what to do with it. These things saved lives back in those days. This right here is just a demo, no more no less.
When a man with a lot of strange exotic weapons meets a man with a razor sharp katana, the man with a lot of strange exotic weapons usually dies chopped in little clear pieces... :-))) Seriously, I would really like to see an _actual_ fighting situation, when the man with the katana and an _intense_ killing intent attacks, and the man with the strange leather sheet with two wood handles tries to defend himself... :-)

This is from a documentary called "Budo: The Art of Killing"
in case anyone is curious for more

@hosinw it says in the title. It is called Okinowan Kobido.
Teruo Hayashi is the guy in black and Shogo
Kuniba is the guy in white.
Tecnicas realizadas con armas reales. Ese si es sensei!
Oss
Kobudo karate.

whoa!! una tecnica magnifica, pero el escudo era lo suficientemente fuerte para detener una katana?

the guy with the katana just waits to receive the impact, I bet an actual fight must be messy and everything but elegant
@NewEnglandBudo He was 10th Dan .......
@akzorz thanks I have to look them up this video is really great!
These shots are from the movie "budo the art of killing". Real nice movie
No style is 100% perfect, but this stuff is pretty awesome
What's the names of the practioners and style?
Is this from "Budo"?
Awsome techniques
OSSU
@NewEnglandBudo yes,you are right =)
the darts you missed out, like the one that killed the kings
awesome but why does he kill that poor tree?
@gojuryukarateka Forgot-CRS- Check out Kuniba's "Action Karate" on my channel that he gave me many years ago.
@cerkuenik It looked more like a pot fitted to be a buckler to me, since the Okinawan's really didn't have "weapons" so to say.
Tinbe and roche?
I felt sorry for the poor tree too ...
Why did he kill that poor tree?

Holy shit... and here I am, flinging my bo passionately an d hitting myself along the way, and still trying to get a good hold on my tonfa's. *bows*
The name of this video is Budo the art of killing.
