Weapons of Okinawan Karate - Japanese Terms
Okinawa,
with a long history of both chinese and japanese suppression that also outlawed the possession of conventional weapons (such
as swords), developed a unique range of substitute weapons that became an integral part of Traditional Okinawan Shorin-Ryu
Karate. Many of these weapons were derived from farming tools.
There are five traditional Okinawan weapons, the
Bo, Kama, Nunchaku, Sai, and Tonfa. Many Okinawan Karate styles include these five weapons in their training to some degree.
Training with these five weapons helps to develop similar muscles as used in karate as well as hand-eye coordination and heightened
reflexes. Many of the striking and blocking techniques practiced in everyday Karate can be easily adapted to use when armed
with these weapons, making the transition to training with these weapons relatively easy and most beneficial to the karateka.
TRADITIONAL OKINAWAN KARATE WEAPONS
Bo 6 foot wooden staff
Kama Sickles used as a pair
Nunchaku Wooden sticks joined by a cord or chain
Sai Fork-like metal weapon used as a pair

Students come to Dukes Martial Arts Academy to study martial arts for different reason. While
Shorin Ryu Karate is know around the world as one of the most fowerful forms of martial arts with its dynamic kicking and
hand techniques, students easily learn at their own pace and ability level so they reach their own personal goals. We believe
that we are able to continue to successfully grow our schools because our students realize that our mission is to teach self-defense
while also fostering the personal development of each and every karate student. We offer programs for adults and children,
each fostering the development of integrity, self-control, confidence, perseverance, respect, loyalty and self-esteem. As
professional martial artists, we have dedicated our lives to the betterment of our sport - and operate this school with the
even more important goal of educating children and adults to become physically and emotionally strong. We have
years of training in martial arts and experience in working with children. Our instructors are specifically trained to teach
martial arts through motivation and encouragement.
Our instructors develop students'
desire to improve and grow so that the motivation to excel comes from within. To us, this is truly the best form of leadership.
We are martial artists who stand tall and live strong. That's what sets us - and our students - apart from the crowd.
