Motobu-Ryu

We've been spending a lot of timing taking Motobu-Ryu Udun-Ti classes. I wish I had more time to add some detailed descriptions to these pictures, but for now this will have to do...



While all the techniques we have been learning are variations of throws and joint manipulations, Motobu-Ryu also includes weapons techniques and we got the chance to watch a little bit of that.

I can't imagine learning to roll while holding a sword...


Rolling with a bo seems much more reasonable.
