Adult Weapons
Weapons are offered to all levels for adults. We specialize in Bo staff but offer private lessons for many other weapons.
Our stylish techniques are world known and only available through rare systems. We teach fast hard effective moves that can
be used in self defence. This style is great for competition and self conditioning.
Even though the term "karate" means "empty hands", most weapons were developed to be extensions of those empty hands. Most techniques we learn can be modified to have a weapon in hand. Most of the common weapons were first developed for the same reason Karate was developed; the common people needed to protect themselves. In the late 1400's, ownership of weapons was prohibited. For this reason, most weapons had an everyday use. Farmers transformed their work tools into weapons. Listed below are the various weapons taught in our program. We have also included a brief description and possible origin of each weapon.
Bo/Staff - Because of its everyday uses, the bo/staff was the most
commonly used of all the Okinawan weapons. It was traditionally used to carry baskets, buckets of water, piloting boats and
something as simple as a walking stick. This weapon by definition is usually 6 feet in length. Because of its length, this
weapon gives the practitioner the greatest striking distance. It can be used for blocking and striking. This weapon requires
a sound knowledge of empty-hand techniques and solid stances. * Other Weapons: Nunchaku, Kamas, Sai, Sword, bokken
