Hamahiga no Tuifa
Karate kata that uses the Tonfa or Tuifa martial arts weapon.

This particular weapon uses techniques that work in the empty hand arena. It is a close quarters weapon similar to the Bo. As an extension of the arm, it strengthens blocks and when swung makes one’s reach longer. The final technique to work toward mastery is the spinning blow to the side of the enemy’s head.
