Like karate, there are a number of different styles of kobudo. We are learning the Yamanni-ryu style, which is very fluid, fast, and complements our Shidokan style of karate extremely well. We believe that bo training deepens one’s study and understanding of both kobudo and karate.

It is important that your karate basics be in place before beginning bo training. During class, we will be learning bo handling, basic strikes and blocks, and kata. We will also learn basic bunkai and kumibo (the kobudo equivalent of kumite).
