Dear Rachel,

Up to now, there isn't a video production specifically designed to focus on bokken work - not like the 36 jo basics video at least. You can however find some bokken work at the beginning of a couple of the test guideline videos - but this only covers three basic forms (happo giri, shiho giri, and the 8-count suburi) and the four basic parries which are done in kiri-gaeshi drill format. Other than that, there are a few moments from various summer camps that cover some bokken practices like Chiba Sensei's kiri-otoshi drills. Unfortunately, the rest hasn't been put on film or put into production. Sorry - hope that helps a little.
