Tonfa

The tonfa (side-handle baton) is a traditional weapon that was originally developed in Okinawa. On this DVD, Master Young Kil Song teaches a unique Korean style of Tonfa training with an emphasis on traditional style techniques using a single tonfa.

He begins with the basics of stance, grip, and footwork, then moves directly into 5 tonfa drills to help you get a feel for the basic and advanced blocks and strikes with both the single and double tonfas. Based on this instruction, he teaches a tonfa pattern and 20 self-defense drills, employing a single tonfa against a knife, gun and blunt object.
