A while ago we tried a little metsubishi ( blinding powder ) action during our training in the park on sunday morning.
It was besides fun also very educating ; since there isn't much training going on on this subject.

Small compilation on youtube ( about a minute ) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDtehgBBo_w)

We added a little 'drama' to the clip as you can see ;)

The way you Uke with the sword in the first move kind of causes me concern. But I like the way the powder you threw all flowed away from you. I just saw a clip a while back where it came back into the eyes of the guy throwing it due to the wind.

Definitely want to be aware of the wind direction. That would certainly bring a different element to training. Thanks for sharing!

Nice clip and glad to have you hear at MartialTalk!

The breeze gave that a very cool effect, made it look anime-y.

Neat.

Can you expain what the powder consists of? I have heard several interpretations one being a mixture of white pepper, fine sand and red pepper.....

Opinions about the content vary but it sure is/was a lot more nasty then the flour that we use ! :D

Yesterday we went out again for some more metsubishi training.
Again i've shot some clips.
Starting with a reel of short takes from the various techs that came along :
