Sorry, I don't.
Are there any bo kata that you are specifically looking for?

Try getting hold of a copy of 'Shotokan Kobudo volume 1. BO' from budo promotions. It's very good, contains basics and 2 BO katas. I got mine off of e-bay, but budo promotions do have a very good website.
Hope this helps.

Nightflash,
I dont know the web addresses i'm afraid but Tsunami Productions have 2 videos by Shinpo Matayoshi, 10th Dan that teach the Sakugawa no Kon kata along with nunchaku and tonfa kata. Also George Dillman has a video/dvd on the bo that teaches 3 kata and Patrick McCarthy has a video on Yamani Ryu bojutsu available.
Hope that helps ;D

Simon Oliver is a nice guy and a great bloke to train with if you get the chance. www.budopromotions.co.uk |

It was an eye opener - we did tekki nidan to application, well half of it. He also talked about the learning process in the application of kata - bunkai,oyo & henka. The differances are quite subtle. I had also forgotten, how originially kumite was just application of kata, before 5-step, ippon, jiyu-ippon, etc. I soon remembered ! Loads of food for thought.
Again what a lovely bloke, I hope to train with him soon.
No spelling mistakes today - hopefully

Interesting, I have never heard of "henka" before. What does this translate as?

Henka waza are basically very abstract applications that bear little of the appearance of the kata move but use the principles of that move - at least that's what i think they are ;D

Henka means "variation".
One man's variation is another man's law. It's a cop out way of explaining bits that poeple add on to movements to make them "work". You don't need the terminology, just admit that you have to change the move a bit "for you" to make it work.
Another definition would include the words "alternative tactics". Again, I would say that every individual has variations and alternatives as we re not clones (even the one who like to think they are).

Books by Fumio Demura in your particular choice of weapons are usually good to use as reference
