This video was a useful aid to practice. Sensei Fumio Demura covers the history of many fundamentals of the tonfa. The inclusion of reverse angle coverage of the katas demonstrated proved helpful in allowing one to observe the complete movement, rather than from just one point of view. The moves are repeated, something which allows the viewer to better grasp them. Sensei Demura's section on self defense use of the tonfa is especially interesting, Although one might wish it was a little longer. Overall, the video was very well done and is something I am glad to own.

As a first-time purchase of this type of weapon, I have been impressed both with the sturdy construction as well as the functionality. The no-frills design is just that---all business. Also, the ribbed handgrip carved into the end of the chucks assists the user in maintaining a firm hold and positive control over the weapon while practicing. Although lightweight, the chucks themselves are sturdy. This product is a good purchase for anyone buying nunchucks for the first time.
