    Just to ask, if that is Okinawan Kara-te why is there a Korean flag on the wall???

    Sure doesn't look like Okinawan karate or kobudo to me.

    I'll have to agree with Kosukun.

    Hi,

    The Third Video -- http://www.eternalskies.com/videos/wce_okinawa03.wmv -- Shows a bunkai demo of Naihanchi Shodan. A little sloppy, though. The Nunchaku demo seems more flash than substance, though.

    Regards,

    Ketong71

    I didn't see that when I clicked on any of those links............

    Actually, I had to hack the link myself. The third link posted was a repeat of the first one (the flashy Nunchaku demo). So, I changed the '01' in the filename to '03' and got the Naihanchi Bunkai Demo.

    Regards,

    It was a Martial Arts Expo. A Dojang was Hosting, but arts from other countries (like the one seen here) were invited :)

    Dammit, missed another one! Gomennasai!!! *bows*

    I thought it was cool when he smacked himself in the face :p

    Kata part

    Video number 3 looks like tekki kata bunkai.

    But it's nice to see such videos post more...

    Regards Kerling
    ps. Giggling is good for your soul.

    That nunchaku sequence is definately just flash. I did not spot a single attacking move - just short bounces.

    GGGGGGRRR

    Still doesn't look like Okinawan Karate/kobudo to me.

    The Bunkai looks like it could be Kara-te but that practitioner just sucked......

    It's not very good. Definitely not Okinawan Kobudo.

    Look, you're in Long Beach. If you're interested in authentic Okinawan Kobudo or Okinawan karate, go visit Fumio Demura in Orange County (Santa Ana) for kobudo.

    www.genbu-kai.com

    Or, Visit Sensei Angel Lemus in Los Angeles for both Okinawan Kobudo and Okinawan Karate (Westwood Recreation Center
    1350 Sepulveda Blvd
    Los Angeles, CA 90025
    310-473-3610)

    There is a plethora of instructors in authentic Okinawan Karate/ Kobudo. Were I you, I'd look for Anthony Marquez, Shroinkan Shorin Ryu, Eihachi Ohta and Tadashi Yamas h i t a, in addition to the two mentioned above.
