SensiBasha Posted January 15, 2003 Posted January 15, 2003 My Shian used to teach an okinawan weapons art caklled Kouboudo, it uses the tonfas, sais , kamas, bo, and nunchukus. It followed much of the same katas as Kyokushin but with some slight alterations. Has anyone out there ever taken part in this form? Osu

Tobias_Reece Posted January 15, 2003 Posted January 15, 2003 I've been practising Okinawan Kobudo for several years, and am currently in the process of 'advanced networking' (I like that phrase).

SensiBasha Posted January 15, 2003 Author Posted January 15, 2003 Well I ended up stopping when we got to learn the sai katas. We started to focus more on international competition. What are the weapons and katas that come after the bo katas and tonfa katas? Osu
Tobias_Reece Posted January 15, 2003 Posted January 15, 2003 We teach/learn katas for each weapon at each progressive grade. You still learn bo katas as you are learning kama katas. What style of Okinawan Kobudo did you practice/who was your Chief Instructor/which association did you belong to? I'm going on holidays 2mos, so I probably wont reply until i get bak (1 weeks time) "You Are Never Given A Dream Without Also Being Given The Power To Make It True.
