The three RyuKyu Kobudo books by Innoue Sensei.

 

 I am not sure if this is the book, but it was the closest I could find with Bing Search.


Andreas Quast began a thread 

on the three RyuKyu Kobudo books by Innoue Sensei.

 

I was presented a copy of the books by a friend back in 1989. More for Historical relevance than anything else. He also made a translation of the table of contents for the three volumes.

For myself I had studies in a variety of systems.  I imagine more than enough to keep me busy as it was.

 

The current discussion got me thinking, I began to wonder how many of these kata or exercises I could find on YouTube with so much there these days.

 

So I did some simple searches and found something and nothing. Not sure if they are all the correct kata being referenced. But it has been fun.

 

Here is what I found. (just selecting one of the kata to view) good, or bad.

It does make what Innoue shared a bit more understandable.

This is the best  I have been able to do, I hope it proves useful,

It does show the depth of Innoue Sensei.
