"Hamahiga Tuifa (Tonfa)"
The Hamahiga Tuifa is for the serious practicioner.
The old style design is hand crafted to traditional Kobudo specifications.
It is designed for combat.
It is not round and light in weight for competition purposes.
The Hamahiga Tuifa is a serious Kobudo weapon. It is made of Jatoba, a very popular wood in Okinawa, or Cocobolo/Jatoba or Rosewood/Jatoba Laminates. Handcrafted and perfectly balanced.
The handles are double dowelled, glued and steel pinned.
The Hamahiga Tuifa is slightly heavier than Oak and very strong.
"How to measure for a perfect fit of your Tonfa"
Measure from the tip of the extended index finger to the end of the bent elbow. Then add 1/2 inch. This is the perfect Tonfa length!
"Original Tonfa"
This is a picture of the original use of the Tuifa. It was used in a household "Mill Stone", for making bean or rice flower. Later in history turned into a weapon.
Even though there is a popular Tuifa Kata named after the island, there are no weapons on Hamahiga. No warriors came from Hamahiga Island. The small island's resources industry is predominately fishing.
The island has 2 small villages, Hama at one end and Higa at the other end. The island is named after the 2 villages, Hamahiga Jima.
