Ufuchiku Kobujutsu

[camotheman]

Hey guys,

Does anyone have any experience in Ufuchiku Kobudo? How does it compare to some of the main styles of Kobudo?(Yamanni, Matayoshi, Ryukyu) Is there difference in application, body mechanics?

 

It’s my understanding that some of the short weapons taught in Yamanni ryu come from Ufuchiku Kobudo (mainly sai via Kina Shosei -> Kyan Shinei -> Nagamine Dojo), and I was curious how much was transmitted and what was left out.

I’ve only heard of Ufuchiku Kobujutsu from my Soke and Dai-Soke but I’ve not trained in that style directly. They told us that that style has quite a lot of kobudo weapons compared to many other Okinawan Kobudo styles.

I’ve heard the same, I fear the information regarding it is very limited, and that there are not many practitioners. Supposedly there are very many kata, with there being many weapons practiced. I do find it quite interesting that the main weapon of the style is the sai.
