The Original Bo Kihon (棒基本) as taught to me by Seiyu Oyata.

This is the first Bo kata that we teach, and it is the first Bo Kata that I learned. We used to have little ’get-togethers’ in my parent’s backyard, and Greg Lindquist taught me Master Oyata’s Bo Kihon, the first Bo kata that they taught. Later Master Oyata refined my understanding of this kata and how I was to implement its movements in preparation for competing in the Weapons Fighting Division in Okinawa. I declined the ’honor’ when it was pointed out to me the deaths and injuries incurred during these full contact “competitions“. This is the original way we were taught by Master Seiyu Oyata. Feel free to comment. We read every one of the comments. Again, agree or disagree. Just let us know! We make mistakes and we know it. So, let us know what you liked or disliked about our video. If you are interested, you can learn more about us at: Real Karate. Not Sport. Learn from a Military Science and Tactics instructor specializing in Individual Tactical Training. We do Seminars worldwide. The details are on our website . I enjoy teaching people who WANT to learn! With Albert Geraldi’s passing, there is only Greg Lindquist and I left from the original bunch. Greg is more of a Kata guy, I’m the fighter and tactics guy. I don’t teach that namby-pamby stuff that’s passing itself off as Ryukyu Kempo these days.
