    Please no off topic videos or videos of people messing around that aren't practitioners e.g. star wars kid.

    The purpose of his thread is to educate others on what not to do and to give insight to those that aren't fimilar with using weapons. When posting a video please remember to include the reason why you think its wrong (it doesn't need to be an essay).

    I'm not entirely sure what this kata is, but apparently this is his (calasanz) personal approach.

    Well the approach I see he has taken here is one with poor footwork, poor posture, and lack of control of his bo. I'm surprised he hasn't killed any of his students (yes he has been teaching for over 30 years) by his poor handling. Now, I'm not the best at explaining stuff in great detail, so I'm going to let the next video do all the talking about what proper kobudo looks like. The closet legit version of this kata I could find was this one here.

    In the video below calasanz proves that two staves aren't always better than one. I swear it looks like he's just making up random stuff on the spot.
