The Tomahawk Cave [Wupi ta’pun’i Ta’i]

Well, thanks to some final puzzle pieces from acquired resources on our most recent desert research trip we are ready to present the revised approach to Numur’u Tomahawk.

I guarantee it is as authentic and verifiable as I can make it from the sources. [The curious may find the Post-Script regarding the Comanche language of value.]

The February Black Box volume presents this single aspect of tomahawk work termed Wupi’ta’pun’i Ta’i [Rendered sometimes as Wupi’ta’pun’i Kahne Tubaana.

Wupi’ta’pun’i Kahne Tubaana translates to “Tomahawk Wall” or “Tomahawk House.” In some iterations “Tomahawk Cave” Wupi ta’pu’i Ta’i.

I find “Cave” a better representation as it refers to a formidable fortress from which to fight and hold off aggressors.

Wupi ta’pun’i Ta’i can be thought of as the blocking system for the tomahawk.

“System” is a bit too staid a word for how this approach works.

Anyone who has been present for our live “Spirit Blade or “Emotional Blade” presentation will have a clue into the ferocity I mean.

Trust me, this ain’t no re-shuffled Filipino number systems or re-purposed overlay of European sword patterns.

We have gone deep into the historical weeds here. [Again: See the Post-Script.]

I guarantee it is as authentic and verifiable as I can make it from the sources.

This proud, pragmatic Warrior heritage had no need of what Musashi called “Sword Flowers”, that is, needless ornamentation.

This is its own vicious beast that takes into account the realities of an inertial top-weighted weapon.

On this volume we address the subtleties of grip, the “Balance” the entirety of the “Cave” and “Natural” follows.

This is THE foundation upon which the remainder is built.

In the future we will address…

·        Additional attack combinations.

·        Unusual tactics

·        Tomahawk “Dances” [Solo Patterns to seat wild skills.]

·        Woods Runner Drills: Using the ‘Hawk While on the Run. [Think of it as raiding or dropping multiple opponents, think of it as being a frontier John Wick.]

·        ‘Hawk & Blade Tactics: Twin Weapon Wielding: The True Story

Again, this is THE foundation upon which all else is built.
