-- Official presentation by the Kobudo association --
This Kobudo comes from the Ryukyu islands (Okinawa Prefecture) and the earliest recorded history goes back about 700 yers ago. Together with the "empty handed techniques", that became well known and were spread as the Okinawa Karate, there was also a large catalog of weapon techniques developed. Those became later known as the Ryukyu Kobujutsu, evolving around the Bo, Sai, Tonfa, Nunchaku, Kama, Tekko , Tinbe and Surujin. To revive, preserve and also promote them, a catalog of over 40 weapons Kata has been put together and were taught by Taira Shinken (1897-1970).
