What are the two main arts practiced at our school?

The two main arts practiced at the school are Karate and Kobudo. Karate is a traditional martial art that focuses on striking techniques, including punches, kicks, knee strikes, and open-handed techniques. It emphasizes discipline, self-control, and physical fitness while also teaching effective self-defense skills.

Kobudo, on the other hand, involves the use of traditional weapons, primarily those originating from Okinawan martial arts. This includes training with various weapons such as the bo staff, nunchaku, and sai. Kobudo complements Karate by enhancing weapon skills and understanding of distance, timing, and coordination.

The combination of these two arts allows students to gain a well-rounded martial arts education, developing both their empty-hand fighting techniques through Karate and their proficiency with weapons via Kobudo. This integrated approach not only informs self-defense strategies but also enriches the overall martial arts experience, fostering physical, mental, and spiritual growth.
