Kobudo – The Traditional Art of Japanese Weaponry
Kobudo is the in-depth study of traditional Japanese weapons.
Our programs are structured into three levels of difficulty for each weapon, starting from the basics and progressing to the most advanced technical expression at the third level.
The weapons studied and practiced include:
Nunchaku, Bo, Jo, Sai, Naginata, Kama, Tonfa, Katana, and Tanto.
In addition, the WJJC curriculum also incorporates modern weapons such as sticks, knives, karambit, and kukri, completing a wide and comprehensive technical repertoire.
A Path of Precision, Time, and Dedication
Learning to use weapons correctly is a slow and gradual journey, requiring time, patience, and commitment.
Kobudo classes are held collectively, but each student trains with their chosen weapon at their own level and pace.
This study is not for everyone:
following this fascinating path requires perseverance, as each movement must be learned with precision, practiced slowly, and refined with care.
Without a strong will to improve and grow, it is difficult to grasp the true essence of the weapon, reaching the point where the weapon becomes an extension of the practitioner’s soul.
A Special Journey: The Katana
The study of the Katana follows a dedicated path, with specialized classes focused entirely on the practice of Katana kata.
This is a deep and silent art, requiring discipline, focus, and inner stillness.
