Okinawan Kobudo    

Kobudo is the art of traditional weapons of Okinawa.  

These include but are not limited to the Sai Sword - Bo Staff - Tonfa - Nun Chuk

History tells us that the farmers and members of the lower class in Okinawa used their farm tools as weapons during times of warfare when they lacked or were banned from the use of  more sophisticated weapons. 

The practice of using these farms tools became an art passed down from father to son, predominately.  Although, not as common,  the art of kobudo was also taught to the female members of the family. 

Today we continue the art by practicing the use of these "tools" of war not only as a means of preserving the ancient art of self defense but also to train the student in the art of awareness, adaptability and creative thought. 

Participants of this class must hold a novice level or above in any traditional or legitimate  martial art and be age 10 or older, in order to understand balance, focus, body control and sense of responsibility.
