Weapons book recommendations?

[A. M. Jauregui]

Does anyone have a recommendation for books that deal with kata or forms of various ryukyu kobudo weapons?

I do not want to train in such weapons at this time but my interest is sparked on the subject. Thank you for your assistance.

Fumio Demura put out several books dedicated to various weapons. Also Patrick McCarthy's Koryu Uchinadi vol. 1 is a good source for a glance at some Bo, Sai, and Tonfa. But don't expect to be able to learn kata from the books. Good Luck.
