What is Okinawan Kobudo?

Okinawan Kobudo is a Japanese term which can be translated as "Old Martial Way of Okinawa". It generally refers to several different weapon traditions of Okinawan origin. The most common being the bo, sai, tonfa, kama and nunchaku.

Teruo Hayashi, the founder of our karate system Hayashi-Ha, founded Kenshin Ryu. A name he chose to honor his two primary weapons teachers, Shinken Taira and Ryuei-ryu master Kenko Nakaima. Kenshin Ryu represents a great cross section of Kobudo from different styles with a touch of Hayashi’s own interpretation.

Teruo Hayashi’s kobudo syllabus is exclusively taught here at Jyanguru dojo. Sensei Seth was passed this knowledge of Kenshin Ryu from Shihan Dougherty, who learned directly from Teruo Hayashi. Sensei Seth also trained directly under Teruo Hayashi on many of his frequent visits to America.

Here at Jyanguru dojo we honor his legacy and keep the tradition alive by teaching this rare art form.
