Found out the sai form, and ko bo stayed the same. Vids are hard to come by, and you might not be able to get the real thing or not. Century might have some. I can try and a link through century if you want. Got another bo staff form that I can hardly pronounce let alone spell that there were some revisions too.

Choun nokun, I got part of another form. I missed the class friday due to my wisdom teeth coming out and my family thinking I needed a day off.

One example is the jump, in the form. Before you held your bo staff straight out and jumped, now you have your arm above your head, and do kind of like a windshield whiper straight up. Another one is before you were just poking, now it's like your spearing a fish.

Well, my teacher showed us the second "revised" form last friday. I think it definately makes the form harder, but it is more interesting at the same time.

Well, my teacher heard back from him. I found some of the changes interesting, some include disarming the opponent. We have been doing parts of the form on other people in a "gauntlet" style in class.

About getting laid, well don't know to much about that. My weapons mainly bo staff and escrima, and sai, and tonfu.

learn the spear, it can teach you a great deal about fa jing, yes i said it fajin fa jing fa mutha fuc*in jing. exploding from the waist legs and hips. plus, xingyi was made by a spearmaster.

but cooler weapons like the rope chain and nunchucks may be better for trying to get laid.

Last I knew, my instructor was still waiting to hear from him. Things like this though probably will come up though, because let's face it he's got his own students.

You know what's interesting. My teacher tracked down a martial arts teacher who is 3 generations away from okinawa. Anyway, the weapons program he put together at his school by going to seminars is the same as that teacher. So now he's going to be taking lessons from him via distance learning. Which is really cool. The escrima stuff isn't the same though, just the bo staff forms.

hey cool, i was thinking of taking up kobodu, not too long ago, hows the style breakdown?

KOBUDO

I'm training KOBUDO - Bo Jutsu (180-185 cm staff), style Yamanni-ryu. The principal weapon used in the style is the roku-shaku bo, or six-foot staff. The style has been described as one of the most dynamic and devastating of the Okinawan weapons styles, most probably because of its distinctive wide and flowing strikes, which contrast greatly with the short and choppier movements characteristic of other weapons styles that trace their roots to Okinawa.
