I'm teaching this kata in 2026 to a few brwn belts aspiring to become Udansha. This footage is from 1993 showing Master Seikichi Odo leading Chinto Kata to a group of us. I was a young Sandan at the time. I hope you enjoy!

We had a great time practicing various bo kata on Saturday the 25th: Chonokun, Shioshi Nokun Ni, Shima Igiri Bo Ni, and Tokumine Nokun Ni. On Sunday the 26th we grinded through all 5 sai kata, two tonfa kata and our two k**a kata. Discussed bunkai for all throughout the weekend! Great experience for all who attended. Kyle Roy was also awarded his Godan at the end of the training yesterday!!!

I was going through some stored items from years ago and came across this old shirt. Mike Kriegisch had this shirt made for Master Odo's following back in 2002 shortly after Hanshi Odo's passing. On the front a great pic of Master Odo performing a technique from Nakamura No Sai, and on the back a list of Dojo that supported this initiative... This year's July gathering is that much more significant because we will be performing short weapons on Master Odo's 100th Birthday!!!
