Kyudokan is traditional school, yet we believe in continuous research on body dynamics and improvement of the technique. Kyudokan's advanced principles allow a person at any age to begin their training with their own abilities and limits. The Okinawan art of weaponry is called Kobudo. We teach bo (6 foot staff) and sai along with karate for those who are interested. Separate kobudo classes can be also arranged to those who are interested only in Kobudo. This can be useful to students and instructors practicing other karate styles to improve themselved with the addition of kobudo into their training. Sensei, Indishe Senanayake Sensei (5th Dan- Karate/ 3rd Dan- Kobudo) was appointed as the Representative and Chief Instructor for Australia of the World Shorin Ryu Kyudokan Higa-te Federation by Grandmaster Oscar Higa. He has over 25 years of experience in Shorin Ryu Karate. Contact: [email protected]
