1983 Independence Tournament (Real Bogu)

This is what Bogu Kumite used to look like in 1983-4. We still have point bogu but that is reserved for those who can't migrate to the newer more violent version. The crowd noises were so extreme (screaming, yelling, etc.) that it was decided to mute them. When I learn how to add voice-overs I will start doing so. Until then ---
Do not think Bogu Kumite is how you would defend yourself against asocial violence. Those events are not competitions and require a totally different form of violent responses that result in death, crippling, or maiming of the opponent.

I enjoy teaching people who WANT to learn! With Albert Geraldi's passing, only Greg Lindquist and I are left from the original bunch. Greg is more of a Kata guy, I'm the fighter and tactics guy. I don't teach that namby-pamby stuff passing itself off as Ryukyu Kempo these days.
