Title: Matayoshi Kobudo-An Appreciation
Product review: The Cassette is very informative for a kobudo enthusiast.It is indeed a great experience to watch the Grand Master matayoshi performing all the weapons.The picturisation is well taken,using 3 cameras in 3 different angles,and it is edited well.The weapons covered are Bo,Tonfa,Nunchaku and Eku.Bo session is well covered with details of basics,hand grips,stances and the kata,Choun no kun,sakugawa no kun,shushi no kun and bo kumite.But there is no basics shown in the case of Tonfa,Nunchaku,&Eku.The; Katas are recorded in 2 speeds;slow motion and full speed.This is a wonderful cassette with a few glaring omissions.In the Bo Kata Choun no kun ,a few steps are missing.After the initial 4 steps,the fifth step is gedan harai uke and gedan nuki Bo.This is missing in the kata.Iam sure a sensei of the caliber of Hanshi Matayoshi would not be responsible for the omission.I trust you will make the necessary rectificatios,else this may mislead aspiring Kobudoka.
