We provide all necessary gear at the dojo, from Bo staffs to Tonfas, so you can walk in and focus entirely on your form. Our classes are mixed-level, which means you will learn the basics alongside more experienced students, allowing you to quickly understand the rhythm and discipline required for these traditional Okinawan weapons. Kobudo is not an add-on or a side hobby at our Honbu Dojo. It is an integral part of the Okinawa Shorin-ryu Shorinkan Karate-do curriculum. When you step onto our mats, you are training in the same weapons systems taught in Okinawa, without shortcuts or modern, watered-down variations. We focus on three primary traditional weapons: * **Bo (Staff):** A six-foot wooden staff that develops your coordination, balance, and striking power. * **Sai (Truncheon):** These require sharp wrist action and are excellent for mastering blocks and counter-attacks. * **Tonfa (Handle):** A deceptive weapon that teaches the importance of rotation and body mechanics in both defense and offense. Whether you are an adult beginner or a junior student, the training philosophy remains the same. You start with the foundational stances and simple movements, eventually working your way up to complex katas and weapon sparring (Kobudo Kumite). As you progress, these weapons become an extension of your karate practice. We host classes in Bengaluru at our Panduranga Nagar facility, where we utilize professional EVA interlocking mats for safety during intense drills. Because we are an authentic federation, this training is directly linked to your belt grading. If you are serious about becoming a complete martial artist, you will find that Kobudo provides the practical depth that simple empty-hand karate sometimes misses. If you have any doubts about your current fitness level or experience, just talk to us at the dojo—our training is designed to accommodate everyone from total novices to advanced black belts. ## About OSK Federation Since 1992, I have been teaching the real deal, bringing the exact Shorin-ryu Shorinkan syllabus from Okinawa straight to our dojo floor. Kobudo isn't a side project here; it’s an essential part of becoming a complete martial artist, and we make sure every student gets the same traditional training I received from my teachers.
