Top 3 Kobudo Styles For Beginners

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Do you practice Kobudo? (Why/why not?) 🤔

[@kampar82]

Because it's secret technique available for more advanced learners.

[@1Captainafrica]

I have never heard of Kobudo, my interest is already piqued. Thank you, Jesse.

[@DevilLycan]

I started practising Matayoshi style some years ago and now it's hard to explain why i go out of my house with the training bag and a kuwa XD

[@SoumyaPipin]

I do. It provides a great learning and improvising opportunity for me as it teaches the way of fighting which allows you turn almost anything available into a weapon at the time of crisis.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Awesome!! Tell me more

[@honeyfitz3791]

The nice thing about Kobudo weapons training is that it uses your muscles in slightly different ways than "empty hand" Karate. This is good for overall fitness and it makes your training less repetitive and boring. But you don't need to learn ALL of the weapons. I like the Bo. it's very similar to the "quarter staff" which was a weapon used in the middle ages in England and yes, peasants could use it effectively against upper class nobles who had swords. Quarter staff matches were a popular and (very rough) sport at medieval fairs. Each village had a local champion and people would place bets on the matches. It is fun to compare the martial arts traditions of different nations and discover when they have things in common.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

I’d love to see and compare quarter staff vs bo-jutsu!

[@honeyfitz3791]

@@KARATEbyJesse There are quater staff fighting experts in England. They train using wooden targets and sparring with protective equipment. Most of them are medieval warfare "reenactors."

[@Octopussyist]

@@KARATEbyJesse I'd like to see the Sicilian sherpherd's stick against bo-jutsu. It has lot of elements from the quarter staff and from Joachim Meyer.

[@johanmetreus1268]

@@KARATEbyJesse I suspect Matt Easton from scholagladiatoria or Lindybeige could help you out, as they have a lot of connections in the HEMA / Medieval circles. Speaking of which, would you say the katas serve the function of the fencing treaties of the past, preserving the techniques within a system?

[@jaeyoungkang5951]

I wanna see a Kali vs Kobudo collab / sparring session now

[@KamenRider1]

I'm from the Philippines and practice Kali-Arnis and Shotokan Karate. I've found our National Sport/Martial Art of Kali-Arnis as a sort of substitute to Kobudo but I hope I can learn the latter for real in Okinawa legitimately soon. We're only 2 hours away from Okinawa by airplane. 🙏🥋🇵🇭

[@Octopussyist]

@@KamenRider1 However, you'll probably find teachers of FMA that have more practical fightint experience or who have learned from such persons than you'll find kobudo masters who have. Like Leo Gaje and his whole family.

[@alejandrobasiliodelacruz7516]

Where do you practice Kali? I'm from Manila

[@Octopussyist]

@@alejandrobasiliodelacruz7516 If you mean me - I train in Hamburg, Germany, but I know a two guys of the Leo Gaje family who come over from the Philippines and give seminars. Rommel Tortal, Kit Azenas. So most good students of theirs would be good guys to learn from. But if you look around there are probably a lot of older guys that you'd hardly notice that are very, very good too.

[@KamenRider1]

@@Octopussyist I can understand where you're coming from, Sir. My style is that of the Cinco Teros school from Baguio City, as I'm from Baguio myself. It's a relatively simple and no-nonsense style that uses the titular five basic strikes as the overall foundation. As they always say "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" 🙏🇵🇭

[@sultanali7148]

It's very sad that in today's time kobudo and karate are totally separate from each other now a days most of the person can learn only one from them either karate or kobudo. I also want to learn kobudo but due to so many problems I am unable but I am still trying and someday I will also learn the kobudo. Great video sensei your video never fails to teach something new. Lots of respect for you.

[@honeyfitz3791]

There are videos on youtube and books you can buy on amazon. Many martial arts retail stores sell the weapons also, online. Some countries ban the sale of these weapons, others do not.

[@sultanali7148]

@@honeyfitz3791 yes I totally agree with you. But you will also agree with me that the knowledge which we will get from an experienced and knowledgeable instructor is much more valuable than the knowledge which we get from internet and books especially in the sports field. If we think that we will learn a particular sports from a book without any instructor then it will be bad for us because books can give us knowledge but not experience. I respect your thoughts and you are totally right but we all people who perform karate will agree that the era in which karate and kobudo was not a single martial arts.

[@szabolcsmadarasi9464]

Hi Jesse! I've watched a lot of videos from you recently, and wanna thank you, for grabbing me back to karate! (want to go to a dojo at autumn) I finished at 3rd kyu (Shotokan) about 10 years ago, because I'm a cellist myself (my hands are important you know), but now with an adult head, I have different opinions. Hopefully, I can match music and karate in the future, it will be a big challenge. Thank you for your work and enthusiasm. Greetings from Hungary!

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Fantastic!! Thanks and good luck 😄

[@shawntailor5485]

As a guitar player,tree man and martial artist I can appreciate your quandary. It's a tough Balance. I was studying iron palm and white crane but came to realize the implications to my hands early on . Rest in peace ,grandmaster archibeque.

[@GearandGames]

As a Yammani-Ryu practioner myself, it's nice to hear about the other styles of kobudo.

[@SifuRodriguez]

Really love your videos. I hope one day to be able to afford to take your classes. I am a southern praying, mantis, teacher myself. I can always see when you mention the truth of the Chinese Gung Fu that is in the old Okinawan styles. I can see those same movements in my own system. Thank you and God bless you for preserving these wonderful treasures. 🙏🏻♥️☦️♥️🙏🏻

[@КаратеСевастополь]

Thanks Jesse. Brilliant episode, you expanded my knowledge yet again. I do practice. I do sai and bo. Sai was my Sensei's weapon of choice and bo is my personal fav along with the jo.

You have a gift to show and explain ideas which people in the past had problem to compehend simply due to lack of knowledge. Martial arts stripped of mysticism do not loose its magic and tend to be even more interesting.

[@terryre.e.d]

Nice presentation, I trained with Kiyoshi NIshime (Cincinatti?) in Russelleville Arkansas with Mabo Ward (Masayuki Azato) class. It was my first introduction to Shushi no kon, very different from what I learned later in Matayoshi Kobudo. The constant flow, as Matayoshi Sensei would say. Kimo Wall told us more about Matayoshi Sensei's interactions and friendships in Yamane ryu and RyuKyu Kobudo. Although... During the 70's & 80's I remember RyuKyu Kobudo being a generic term. I did not realize it had become formalized within a single system.

[@philipschinetsky]

I learned the bo and sai once I reached black belt in TKD, and the Chinese curved sword during the short time I took kung fu. There is a martial arts school near where I live now that teaches kobudo and I really want to get back into it.

[@TheOriginalJAX]

would love to train Kobudo, there is just so much energy on display with it. the techniques actually look really effective. There is also the cool factor, like it. Makes me think of fire poi displays.

Thank you for this video. I practiced Kobudo with Adaniya Sensei, a student of Matayoshi sensei and this all resonated with what I was taught.

[@chrisdunnettmusic]

Thank you, THANK you, and THANK YOU! For posting a video about Yamane Ryu. I am very fortunate, honored, and blessed to have trained in Yamane Ryu under Shihan Nishime who if anyone has seen him in action, is one of the absolute best with the Bo. I have trained many weapon styles including Filipino Martial Arts which I love and although their Staff work is good, I have never seen another Bo system as good as Yamane Ryu and honestly, everyone I know who has seen it in action pretty much says the same thing. A few other things that separate it from other Bo systems are: * The Bo is not held in 3rds like many other systems * The reason for that is the Bo is very fluid and constantly moving * There are no blocks in the center of the staff between the hands as if their Bo is stronger, yours could break and you would get nailed on the head * The Bo is constantly in movement with your body. Therefore unlike many other systems that claim "the weapon is an extension of your hand", in Yamane Ryu, the weapon is in sync with your entire body * Neither hand EVER lets go of the Bo * You always have one palm up and one palm down * The Bo slides in your hands as to increase or decrease distance, range, and reach of the weapon I would LOVE to see you do more videos of this little known, yet BEAUTIFUL Art :).

In my style Isshin-ryu as a Black Belt, 2nd degree (Nidan) you wear white Gi top, black pants and as a 3rd degree (San-Dan) you use black Gi top and pants. Also, our Master (Tatsuo Shimabuku) did study under Tira Shinken for Kabudo and we do use weapons.

For many people, Kobudo is useless as one cannot carry the weapons all the time and more importantly in most of the places carrying weapons are prohibited. However, in my opinion we need to see Kobudo from a different perspective. Kobudo provides a great learning and improvising opportunity as it teaches the way of fighting which allows you to turn almost anything available into a weapon at the time of crisis.
