Eku Bo Forms DVD?

[SFC JeffJ]

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good source for a DVD on Eku Bo(oar)?

I see that Panther has one. Does anyone know if it's any good?

Thanks in advance.

You can find an Eku form on the first Kobudo video from Tsunami productions www.dragon-tsunami.org. It was, I believe, done by Matayoshi sensei from Okinawa. Have not seen the Panther video.

Thanks!

What Eaku Kata are you looking for?

What Eaku Kata are you looking for?

To be honest, I'm not sure. I've seen a couple of different ones that I'd like to learn eventually, but I don't recall the names.

The panther video is good also, it is also matayoshi style though so one or the other on that both are good. Really I would find a good kobudo instructor to teach you a eku kata though. Eku is one of those weapons that is pretty unique and Sensei Sony is not the best teacher imho and really should be a second step option.
