The study of Okinawa Kobudo really compliments the study of karate. Okinawa Kobudo is the study of traditional Okinawan weaponry. These weapons were primarily developed from farming and fishing tools on the island of Okinawa during the Ryukyu Kingdom era prior to Japan taking control of Okinawa and making it a prefecture of Japan. 

At our dojo we practice with these weapons Bo or Kun (staff), Tunfa (millstone handle), Sai (Truncheon), Nunchaku (Horse Bridle), Kama (Sickle), Eaku (Oar), Tekko (Horse Stirrup), Tichu,  Nunti Bo (Spear), Tand Tanbo (short stick). This type of practice increases mental focus and physical strength and is a great complement for karate students to help develop their empty hand / karate training.

We welcome students from other schools to train only in kobudo but our own students kobudo classes open up to them at Yellow belt with no additional tuition fee.
