Okinawan Weapons Sparring

 



Photo: Sparring of Sai (Mr. Omura Motozen) against Bo (Mr. Tsuha Komei), Okinawa Times Hall, 1963.


Mr. Omura and Mr. Tsuha were some of the earliest students of Uehara Seikichi sensei. They were also the earliest students of Nakamura Shigeru sensei (Okinawa Kenpo). By the way, this picture seems to be one of the oldest pictures of weapons sparring after WWII.
