A Worthy Pair of Volumes on Kobudo

I'm not an experienced Kobudo practitioner. I spent decades doing Chinese martial arts. An excellent dvd pair that gives detailed discussion as well as demonstration of the material. You can tell he sees bo training as the centerpiece of the art because of the amount of time he spends on it. It looks to be fully half of the first volume. He includes instruction for bo, eku-bo, tonfa, nunchaku, sai, kama and nunti-sai. Bo and Sai in particular have some interesting nuggets of information. His application sections are extremely short and to the point, but for the weapons he emphasizes the most, he gives ideas throughout his presentations about use in a general way. Some weapons get demonstrations of basics in some detail, and some he instructs by giving a kata to do. Bo has three kata. Some might be put off by the fact that he doesn't treat all weapons equally. From what I've seen, Kobudo practitioners do seem to favor a weapon or two. Clearly done a while back, but still, these are well worth having!
