Ryukyu kobudo is a hand-weapon art that finds its origins in the ancient Ryukyu Islands (present-day Okinawa). It uses a variety of long and short weapons, typically including the bo (staff, also known as kon), sai (iron fork), tonfa (millstone handle), nunchaku (horse bridle), and nicho kama (two sickles). Each has unique features, making them unlike other weapons found around the world.

The weapon art of Ryukyu kobudo and the weaponless art of karatedo were originally two sides of the same coin. While karatedo became remarkably popular, however, Ryukyu kobudo remained relatively unknown. Master Yabiku Moden (1878-1841) and Master Mabuni Kenwa (1889-1952) were concerned about this and worked to promote Ryukyu kobudo and preserve its kata.

Judo sessions begin with a thorough warm up. Students, or Judo-ka, are taught according to their level; beginners learn how to fall properly (break falls) and the basics, through to intermediate and advanced techniques. Participating school of the US Judo Federation.

The 5 Reasons Our Martial Arts Classes Are So Life-Changing, For Both Kids & Adults.

We’re so happy to share our passion for martial arts with you. At first glance, it may seem like our Lee Brothers Martial Arts school is like every other place to get fit and learn self-defense, but to us, it’s a lot more than that.

As you get into the absolute best shape of your life, some other “hidden” changes happen and surprise our new students. Here are some of those life-changing benefits students experience…

One of the first things both children AND adults notice when training is that they don’t get to have super-star NInja movie-style moves without some serious work. However, as you dig in and put yourself to the test mentally and physically, you’ll realize that through all of your hard work, by listening to your instructors and showing up for yourself – you are incredibly capable of smashing your goals.

This sense of achievement gives our students HUGE boosts in confidence. As you learn striking, self-defense moves, or even learn how to do a push-up for the first time you’ll proudly pat yourself on the back and feel great about the person you’re becoming.

Because the techniques are challenging, they require your full attention. You have to focus on the instructor and what they’re saying, then perform what they taught you.

The neat thing is that this concentration naturally pours into all other areas of your life too – Adults find themselves focusing more easily and intensely at work. Kids pay better attention and focus better in school for longer periods.

Each class is loaded with challenging exercises. But because you’re so focused on performing techniques, and having so much fun, you hardly notice it. Before you know it, the class is over and you not only learned powerful martial arts, you got a great workout, too. Being physically fit boosts energy, mental clarity, and confidence as well.

We are a tight-knit group here. Our members and instructors are all about support and friendship.

We provide the kind of environment that fosters courtesy, encouragement, and motivation. You’ll be amazed at how a common goal and some sweat can bring people together.

No two workouts are ever the same. We use a functional exercise system that focuses on getting your body into tip-top shape. Taking care of yourself so you can enjoy life for a LONG time is crucial. And it doesn’t have to be boring!
