And here's it's friend the tonfa kata for completeness:
<p><b>Hama Higi no Tonfa</b></p>
<p>Learn the elements with Sensei Glasheen, polish the sequence with this. As you can see, it’s a complicated kata, and the complicated motions are better seen than read. Complicated movements like the figure eight, down then up strikes, and lateral (cross-cross) motions with final thrust will be reduced to F8DUCCT, and we rely on individual instruction to impart them to you. Other: kiba dachi= standard uechi horsestance; zenkutsu dachi= leaning stance from seisan elbow; heiko dachi= neutral stance, feet shoulder width. R, L= right, left. Final note: unlaquered, decent tonfa, with a large knob on the handle, extending an inch or so past the elbow, are just so much nicer than the common variety.</p>
<ol>
<li>Musubi dachi, both tonfa held in R hand by grasping the shaft near the handles with your thumb and around with the fingers. Bow. Shift into heiko dachi and bring the tonfa in front of you (handles toward you) and transfer one to your L hand. Lower them to waist level, in front of you, pointing forward. Then: step out (north) with L foot, bring top of R foot to the back of your L knee, bringing the tonfa in front of you, handles horizontally out, shafts angled up; this can be done with shafts together as a forward strike, or not touching and angled out as if you were using the handle points to spread the grasping arms of an attacker. Chamber the tonfa by your sides; step into R sanchin with double lower body forward thrust.
<li>Pose, leaning east in zenkutsu dachi (as in the seisan elbow) but looking west; leaning away from the “attack”—retreat into this stance by stepping your right foot east, away from the “attack.” Position tonfas L low, R high by your face. Should be accurately positioned to deflect shinai strikes delivered by a classmate. Angling your body away from the attack should bring your head out of the way of an attack directed at it.
<li>Repeat on other side—looking east, leaning to west, R tonfa low, L high.
<li>Step north in right sanchin with body level thrusts—analogous to vertical fist punches. Hit R, then L, then with the third, slide forward a bit and hit with R again (chambering opposite tonfa on all). [This will be reduced to 3T henceforth, always R-L-R.] Now do F8DUT on the R (skip CC). Step and thrust with L tonfa chambering R, repeat F8DUT on L.
<li>Slide forward a bit and do double CC (obviously, one tonfa higher than the other). Then slide again and do a double DU.
<li>Step off to the northwest in L sanchin while doing a highblock with your L tonfa, then thrust to the body with the R. You do not chamber the L as you thrust.
<li>Repeat with R block, L thrust, to northeast in right sanchin.
<li>Step to north in L sanchin with L high block, then 3T. Then hit low with the R tonfa’s distal (non-handle) end, as if you were starting a figure 8, and continue smoothly by…
<li>…turning on the ball of your R foot much as in a longish sanchin turning to face south in a right sanchin and continuing from the down hit above to make the second down hit of a figure 8 over your R leg.
<li>Performa R DU to regain control of the tonfa, then a F8DUCCT
<li>Step repeat F8DUCCT on the L in L sanchin.
<li>Low block L tonfa stepping into L sanchin southeast, R thrust, again don’t chamber the L with the thrust.
<li>Step to R sanchin southwest, R downblock L thrust.
<li>Step to south, L sanchin, highblock left then 3T.
<li>Pivot on a point to face north in left sanchin (this means turn by stepping, but don’t cover any distance. Bring your L foot north, then your R foot south). As you turn chamber the tonfas by your side and low double thrust out.
<li>Leaning zenkutsu dachi facing east (again, stepping back and leaning away from an attack from the east) R tonfa blocking low, L high. Now do a variant on the F8; do the first downward motion to the north, while chambering the L tonfa, then as you make the second down motion, turn your shoulders so that while you are looking/hitting north, you are leaning and shoulders square to the west. Now lift up your R leg, and do the R DU; set the leg down and do the CCT in heiko dachi. Note whole F8DUCCT is performed, in variant manner.
<li>Repeat on other side.
<li>3T to north, stepping into R sanchin then F8DUCCT on R;
<li>Step to L sanchin, repeat thrust and F8DUCCT on L.
<li>Repeat opening crane stance sequence, and after double thrust, bring tonfa around and hit them together head high, handles facing out, sort of a kobudo version of the seisan ridgehands. Flick the tonfas up.
<li>Slide forward, still in R stance, and DU.
<li>Rotate to face south, pivoting on R foot into R kiba dachi, R tonfa low, L high. Step to mirror image L kiba dachi repeating blocks.
<li>3T then F8DUCCT in R sanchin.
<li>Pivot to face north in R kiba dachi by pivoting on ball of right foot toward your R—notice brings body off the line of attack from the rear.
<li>Step back to L sanchin chambering tonfas by side, double thrust low.
<li>Step back into leaning zenkutsu dachi facing east; on R side, F8DUCC but no T.
<li>Repeat opening crane sequence, after double thrust, bring tonfas to sanchin position, then low in front of you, then together in front, transfer both to R hand, bring to side and bow. We think transferring them to R hand after you’re in sanchin position is simpler, but not how we learned it. <ol>
I'm sorry, just couldn't resist. 
, now theres a kata I`m loving !!!!
