KOBUJUTSU (14yrs & above)
Senior Weapons Art
Kobujutsu (Weapons Art) also called Kobudo (Weapons way) teaches students through the controlled Kata (patterns) and safe application of the JOJUTSU Jo; sometimes called the 4ft priest stick, the Bokken (wooden sword), Sai, Tanto Knife (wooden), Escrima sticks, Shinai (Bamboo sword) and finally the Ken (training Katana sword). Students will gain a calming controlled focus of mind and body. Kobujutsu is ancient, spiritual and full of history and tradition. You will learn all of this through 3 levels of study. You will study under the guidance of our Master Chief Instructor. KENJUTSU Sword Art is different to Kendo & Iaido in that it is more based on the open application of attack and defence with the Sword and Jo. This system has you commence with the study of the Jo Kata (pattern/routine) and offensive & defensive application, then progressing to the Bokken and finally the training Katana.
