The Traditional Weapons Program at the Golden Crane is presented to students as an elective
course of training.
Students who desire to train in traditional weapons, must first achieve the karate
rank level of Rokyu [Green Belt] or above. This will ensure that students have the
basic knowledge and understanding of techniques, and body mechanics, needed
to succeed in weapons training.
Students must also demonstrate a consistent level of maturity and focus in all
classes. Younger students, although having the desire to train in weapons, must wait until they are
mature enough....
As traditional weapons is a separate style of martial art from karate, students will have the ability to
achieve a third Black Belt, in addition to the two Black Belts earned in karate training [in the styles of
Goju-ryu & Shorin-ryu].
Kobu-jutsu - The art of training in Traditional Weapons.
Students learn and experience techniques that were used by people in Okinawa, Japan and China
many years ago. Techniques that were developed by farmers and fishermen, using every day items
found in their home, or at work, and turning these implements in to 'weapons'...
- Readily at hand, these weapons could be used to fend off
robbers, animals... and even the sword wielding samurai,
who were professional warriors at that time!
- There are many tales told of Okinawan farmers successfully
defending themselves, and their families, from danger with
these simple tools!
Bo [staff], sai & tuifa [tonfa] are the basic weapons studied, with more advanced students electing
to train with kama, nunchaku, eiku bo, and more...
