hi to all! i am very good at small weapons such as the nunchuk and the sai,tonfa that type of stuff!! but i want to learn the bokken!!any sites or videos i can get???

i have learnt of my instructure!!i just want to no if theres videos online so i can see what im aiming for!! and differnt techniques from differnt arts or clubs!! so any videos??

lol ok...! but just for some fun is there any sites??lol

everyone above is correct, you should get proper instruction if you want to use a bokken correctly. try and find an Iaido dojo near you where you can study. i'm sorry i don't know any sites.

Iaido is the japanese art of 'drawing the sword' which is about drawing your sword faster than you opponent disabling or killing them faster - bit like a gun-draw thing in the wild west. it has been used in its present form for about 400 years now making it one of the oldest martial arts still practised. it is similar, if not, what the samurai used as they're style in sword-fighting.

i will warn you that Iaido takes years to perfect and is no something that can be rushed. there is usually no sparring and the lessons are mostly doing katas/ forms. and you should never use or really even touch are proper shinken (a katana with fully sharpened blade) until sensei tells you unless you don't mind losing your fingers lol!!

i hope this helps. i'm also going to guess that you learn kobudo as part of your karate training by the list of weapons you have given.

thank you for that!! but no...my sensia does not like to teach weapons in full classes!! i have never brought a weapon... all my weapons are from over instructures and friends!! i have learnt the nunchuku and sai by taking them to my instructure privatley!! as for the tonfa i learnt that of my own back!!!

i have tooken my boken to my instructure.....but i would just like some videos on the boken!! as karate is a "empty hand sport" my sensai does not belive in teaching weapons!!

i dont know what an INSRUCTURE is, is it similar to an instructor
