Be warned -- the server it is on is going to be updated over this weekend so connections will be sporadic for a while.

Take a look at www.mountainteachings.com they offer kobudo video and they have a tonfa video. I copied the information right from the site, see below...

Hidden Secrets of Okinawan Kobudo- Tonfa (1)
Tonfa Basics, Kata and Bunkai (Approx. 90 min.)
By Shihan Roger Wehrhahn

This video was recently filmed at a Kobudo seminar in New England. It is 90 minutes of unedited raw footage on the use of the tonfa, a traditional Okinawan weapon. It contains the complete kata "Sokken no Tonfa" taught in a step-by-step manner with the appropriate bunkai (applications) applied as you go along. Both the traditional bunkai as well as other alternate applications are taught.The cost of the video is
$24.95 + $4.95 S&H. Order now by calling 800-810-8840 or e-mail at mtteach@ptd.net. There will be a limited quantity of these tapes produced so reserve your copy now, while they last!!
