More "Ti"

Here is a video  showing some Okinawan "Ti" stick fighting and other techniques. Fighting with sticks, farming implements, bare hands and any other available objects was all part of the development of "Ti" on the islands after prohibition on arms by the occupying Satsuma forces. Though this is stick fighting, the principles and techniques are fundamentally the same for karate, for example the techniques at 1:34.
