How to use the Tonfa | Step by Step Guide ????The Martial Artist's Way

Hello everyone! In this video we are going to learn how to use the tonfa which is a traditional martial arts weapon. The Tonfa is a very basic weapon and simple in its appearance, however, it is a very versatile weapon that requires years of practice to master – but once mastered, it is a amazing piece of martial arts equipment. The Tonfa itself has given rise to several variations of the basic weapon – the PR-24 side handle police baton, or Police Baton is one typical development.

Traditionally made from red oak wood, the Tonfa is a weapon for both hands – and as such is used in pairs as a double handed weapon, generally only for self defence. As with all weapons, we find the Tonfa is more than capable of holding its own as a full on offensive attack weapon – and very effective it is too.
