The tiny island of Okinawa-located in the East China Sea-was the birthplace of Karate. In the 11th century, the people of Okinawa developed their own fighting ability from the influence of Chinese Martial Arts and other asian fighting systems. While the origins of Goju Ryu and all Martial Arts dates back many centuries, the style that we know as Goju Ryu was only formalized in the early twentieth century.
Jiujitsu was originated as a Japanese martial art and a method of close combat for defeating an armed and armored opponent in which one uses no weapon or only a short weapon. Throughout the centuries many variations of the art dealing with both armed and unarmed opponents have been developed leading to a diversity of approaches to this self defence system.
Kobudo is the study of a system of weapons including the Bo sometimes called Kon, (six-foot staff), Sai (small trident), Tonfa or Tonkua (wooden side handled baton) and the Nunchaku as well as less well-known items such as the boat oar (Eku) and the hoe. Like Karate, Kobudo has its origins in one of the islands of present-day Japan, Okinawa, dating back hundreds of years.
