Kobudo - Ocean Grove

What is Kobudo?

Kobudo is a traditional Okinawan martial art that extends the skills of Karate into the world of classical weaponry. Developed in the 17th century as a means of self-defence when conventional weapons were outlawed, Kobudo teaches practitioners how to use tools like the Bo (staff), Sai (trident), Tonfa, Kama, Nunchaku, Kuwa, and Eku.

The name “Kobudo” translates to “Way to Stop War”, reflecting its deep roots in peace through skill, discipline, and tradition.
