Kobudo Class
Kobudo, also known as Ryukyu Kobujutsu, is the study of Okinawan weaponry, and covers a wide range of traditional weapons, such as the bo (staff), sai, tonfa, nunchaku, and eiku (oar), to name a few.
Our dojos practice the art of Yamanni Chinen Ryu (or Yamanni Ryu, for short), focusing on the bo and the sai. This art has a rich history, and the form of this art has remained relatively unchanged throughout the centuries. The Yamanni Ryu system is distinct from other styles of Okinawan Kobudo, in that wide, sweeping strikes and continual flow are strongly emphasized, compared to the shorter, more abrupt methods of other systems.
We practice the following weapons kata:
