This place is beautiful and that kata was amazing. I loved your version of Hamahiga we just recently started doing Tonfa at my dojo and seeing this is a treat I showed my student they loved this!!

wow just amazing😊 you make it look so easy lol. im working on learning hamahiga tonfa but without anyone in my area who knows the kata your video is extremely helpful in seeing the proper timing and the rhythm of the kata. i have two books with the kata one by Richard Kim and one by Motokatsu Inoue. i really wish i had a good instructional video taking me thru the movements slowly. ill be watching your video many more times to help me with learning the kata. thankyou very much for sharing it.
+Martial Arts with Colman ; Thank you, and you are absolutely correct, I am a member of the Ryukyu Kobujutsu Association GB. I recorded Hamahiga no Tonfa in its basic form for my students to follow, hopefully it helps them to remember the kata and generates interest from others.
Excellent kata, as a practicing martial artist of 46 years in Shotokan and unofficially kobudo for around 30 years that is a very good kata performance, any chance of a slower version to learn off. Oos!
Beautiful. Strong. Precise.
Most excellent focus & technique. Lots of sweat went into that.
Love this and your other tonfa kata video. Please post more🙏🥋
Beautiful.
Very well done Sir! Thank you for sharing.

Dear Gene, Thank you for your comment. This is the kata from Motokatsu Inoue, the system now Headed by his son Kisho Inoue.
Nice. If I didn't know better, the way you did Hamahiga no Tonfa, it was in the style of the Gansho (Motokatsu) Inoue line. Thanks for posting.

I have been a too far practitioner for over 40 years and know 9 different katas, I want to learn this one! Outstanding performance.
How can you learn tonfa for 40 years and only come across hamahiga now?
