Ryukyu Dento Kobujutsu

Kobu-Jutsu or Kobudo, the traditional weapons arts of Okinawa and the Ryukyu Islands, is practiced as part of the curriculum of our Karate. However, we have a separate curriculum for Kobudo in place, so that our students may achieve rank in this art while using it to learn more about Okinawan culture and expand their knowledge of the martial arts. Our practiced Kobudo includes the study of the bo, sai, nunchaku, tonfa, kama, eiku, and other indigenous tools.

Jones Sensei has studied a multitude of various kobudo systems over the years, having trained in Ryukyu Kobudo (Taira method), Matsumura Kobudo, Kokusai Rengokai (Shorinkan), Tokushin Ryu, Matayoshi and Ufuchiku Kobudo. He has been a direct student of Kiichi Nakamoto, President and Soke of Ryukyu Dento Kobujutsu Hozo Budo Kyokai and Josei Yogi, President of the Okinawa Kobudo Renseikai.
