Hello, friends. Recently I have just started teaching Bo-jutsu to
several members of my friend's Eisa (= Okinawan drum dance) team. So
at this moment the level of our performance is still very low.
However, I really would like you to view how the Bo-jutsu
is like if we actually practice according to the Bo-jutsu Manual
mentioned below. Visit my blog and watch the video that I was
teaching Bo-jutsu at Eisa team.
