The old DVD I was mining for footage also had a run through of Shushi no kon sho. It’s not the greatest footage, as the camera angle makes it look like I’m leaning forward, but this will make a good companion video to the one from youtube with Nick Cerio guiding a student through the form. I’ve added it to the existing Shushi No Kon Sho page. Hope you enjoy.

Oh!! That has a name? I didn’t know that. That looks awfully familar. That is the “standard” Bo Form. I learned that when I studied at Rocky DiRico’s School in Arlington, Mass. We just called it the Bo Form. He had originally studied under Villari then switched over and studied under Nice Cerio. That is the Bo Form Rocky did all the time, in Tournaments (weapon forms) to win all the time, in his hey day.
Nice Matt. Thanks , good job. Very informative and instructive.
I never knew it had a name.
Yes – it’s a fairly standard Okinawan bo form, made famous in the ‘Bo: Weapon of Self Defense’ book by Fumio Demura. Many Kobudo schools do it as a basic bo kata. There are plenty of variations.
yeah, I got it, his Book, his Bo book and his Tonfa book.
