Welcome to Matayoshi Kobudo UK Site.....
Matayoshi Kobudo ...
Matayoshi Kobudo is the study of Okinawan Weapons and is one of the oldest Kobudo Styles practiced today. This unique martial art dates back over 9 generations within the Matayoshi Family. This art form as we know it came from two remarkable instructors, Master Matayoshi Shinko (father) and Master Matayoshi Shinpo (son), who dedicated their lives to leave us the Legacy of their style. The late Sensei Matayoshi Shinpo who was considered the highest authority on Okinawan weapons in the world.
The system of Kobudo has been handed down from the later Matayoshi Shinpo Sensei to his son the current Soke of the Matayoshi Kodokan dojo, Matayoshi Yasushi Soke. His guidance and spiritual support is very important to the Kodokan in Naha, Okinawa, and his work is supported by the technical director Itokazu Seisho Sensei.
