Tanbo-Jutsu Ippon-Kumite | 短棒術 一本組手

Tanbo-Jutsu (or 短棒術 in Japanese) includes the fighting techniques ( 術 Jutsu) with a small staff ( 短棒 Tanbō). The Tanbo is slightly longer than the forearm, measured from just before the forehand to just beyond the elbow. Next, Ippon-Kumite (or 一本組手 in Japanese) means ‘one step sparring’. Typically, this involves a standard way of responding to a single attack technique. In this video, budoka Johan Oldenkamp, a former national champion from the Netherlands, performs the fifteen basic one-step-sparring sequences for the Tanbo, developed by Wim van de Leur (1944), Shihan, and also form the Netherlands.
