Okinawan Shorinryu Shorinkan Kobudo

Sensei Ben Dorr leads the instruction for the Kobudo classes. He is a member in good standing in the Okinawa Shorinryu Karate-Kobudo Kenshu Kai, and holds a Nidan rank in Shorinryu Shorinkan Kobudo under Hanshi Doug Perry.
Kobudo means "Ancient Martial Way" which is the art of traditional weapons training. The bo, sai, tonfa, nunchaku, eku, kama, and tekko are some of the weapons that the students will learn. Kobudo is a separate art from Karate. Kobudo training broadens and compliments a student's karate skills. The JKI Kobudo Weapons Program follows the Shorin-Ryu ShorinKan program, a combination of Okinawan and Japanese weapon systems.
Single person kata and weapon vs weapon kata will be taught to mature, responsible students of [Blue belt] rank or higher.
