 What’s Kobudo? 
Kobudo is a Japanese term that means ‘old martial
way’. This term applies to our club as we try to follow the traditional
martial ways. Kobudo also is used to refer to martial arts weaponry systems. This
term also applies to our club because we provide private instruction in
nunchuka and bo/staff.
Weapons training can be taken alongside your karate training.
Training with weapons can enhance your hand-eye coordination, your speed, and
make you a well rounded martial artist, as well as being lots of fun and
impressive at demonstrations. Children under the age of 18 must have parental
consent. Please speak to Sensei Kim if you wish to know more about weapons
training or to arrange training sessions.
Nunchuka and bo/staff are taught for demonstration purposes only and
not for actual combat.
If you have always wanted to have a go but did not know how to start
or you have tried learning off a video or DVD and found it too difficult, try
a personal lesson.
Nunchuka are two equal sized pieces of wood or metal that are held
together by either a chain or rope. One end of the nunchuka is held in your
hand while the other end whips around, hopefully where you want it to go! It
is a weapon known for its speed and was made famous by Bruce Lee in 'Enter
the Dragon'.
Bo/staff is a single long piece of wood, usually 5 or 6 foot long and
is a weapon of length used in olden times to dismount attacking horse riders.
