Kobudo (Weapons)

Discover the Art of Okinawan Kobudo at Kensho

Okinawan Kobudo is a traditional martial art that focuses on the disciplined use of classical Okinawan weapons. Often practiced alongside Okinawan karate, Kobudo enhances a martial artist’s skill set through the use of weapons such as the bo (staff), sai, tonfa, and nunchaku. These ancient techniques are not only historically rich but also practical for developing modern self-defense abilities.

At Kensho Martial Arts, our expert Kobudo instructors are dedicated to teaching this time-honored practice. Through structured training, students improve coordination, focus, and overall martial awareness, while learning how weapon movements complement and reflect empty-hand karate techniques. This deep integration of Kobudo and karate creates a more complete martial arts experience.

Whether you're a beginner exploring martial arts for the first time or an experienced karate practitioner seeking to expand your training, Kobudo at Kensho offers a powerful blend of tradition, precision, and self-defense readiness.
