Shihan-Ryu Kobudo

Shihan-Ryu Kobudo, (the Master's Way of Classical Weapons) is the art of Okinawan and classical Japanese weaponry, normally taught in conjunction with Shihan-Ryu Karate-Do. Several of the weapons were thought to be improvised from farm implements. It is normally only taught to advanced students of Shihan-Ryu Budo. The traditional Kobudo weapons of the Shihan-Ryu Institute include the Rokushaku Bo (six foot staff), Jo (short staff), Sai (three-pronged truncheon), the Nunchaku (flail) and Tonfa. The Shihan-Ryu Institute also include the Katana (long sword) and the Wakizashi (short sword) in its Kobudo training program. Shihan-Ryu Kobudo may be taught in combination with another Shihan-Ryu art or separately, depending upon the Instructor.
