Videos of Tonfa?

[Jason W]

Forgive me if this is not appropriate to ask, I couldn't find any rules about my request, so here I go.

I was wondering whether anyone would like to trade any video of tonfa. My 8 year old son is showing an encouraging interest in Japanese weapons and martial arts, and would be thrilled to see some tonfa techniques and training methods. I don't know much about them myself, though I made him a pair, which he loves.

I have a reasonable collection of stuff to trade in return, and I can supply some references if needed.

Thanks in advance!

I don't have any technique videos, but I do have a kata download for the tonfa. Take a look here (http://karate.dhs.org/katanote.htm).

The tonfa kata is presented in WMV and MPG formats under the "kobudo kata" heading.

Tim, it seems the link you gave doesn't work. I also tried the url in your sig, and it keeps getting timed out.

I'll keep trying, but thanks forthe reply.

The IP address for the site just recently changed. It COULD be that the DNS server you use hasn't received the change yet.
