isshinryu5toforever Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Kubodo is something that is taught with karate. Find a karate dojo, and ask the instructor for private lessons on the sai. That's way you wont learn anything but what you wanna learn.I don't find this to be practical advice. Nor do I think most Sensei would take you up on it. He who knows others is wise.

bushido_man96 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Here, I would argue the level of practicality of each of the weapons. Staff, sure, because one might find a stick lying around in varying lengths; brooms, rakes, etc. Maybe knowing the eku would be beneficial here as well, with the extra weight on one end.Sai or kama, I wouldn't be so sure. Nor nuchaku. Now, if someone wants to spend time learning weapons like that, I think it is great. I've spent plenty of time learning weapons with not much modern practicality (sword and shield come to mind) just for the fun of it. But, when it comes to managing your time for serious self-defense training, then you might need to pick and choose what you focus on more stringently.

To much must be learnt before one's instructed in Kobudo, especially the sai. Sorry! **Proof is on the floor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichi_Geki Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 it seems like what traymond is asking is what our opinion on Kobudo is...he is not looking for a explanation of the base of Kobudo. I think he wants to know what you think of it on a spiritual or regular base. Like do we think its practical to learn etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harkon72 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Ko Budo means Great or Senior Martial Way. It is that, a training for senior students done by a qualified Martial artist. If you are a master of Karate, it does not mean that you can practice authentic Ko Budo, it is a style in it's own right. Okinawan Ko Budo is the traditional way, now lost in the themes of cheap martial art movies. Bruce Lee was good with Nunchaku, but it took Sensei Demura to teach him to perform them properly. Look to the far mountain and see all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
