IOKA (Matayoshi) Kobudo: Koh-boo-doh
Long ago an ancient cultural exchange brought many Chinese influences to the Ryukyu Islands. One of those influences emerged into Kobudo (weaponry). Inspired by oppression, Okinawans elevated Kobudo to highest levels of proficiency. One's very life and lives of others hung in the balance of survival served valiantly by these arts. Today, a unique air of romance still posses the weapons of Kobudo, and art worthy of dedicated study.
