#KOBUDO #OKINAWA

[KARATEbyJesse]

Do you practice Kobudo? (Why/why not?) 🤔

[jaeyoungkang]

I wanna see a Kali vs Kobudo collab / sparring session now

[honeyfitz]

The nice thing about Kobudo weapons training is that it uses your muscles in slightly different ways than "empty hand" Karate. This is good for overall fitness and it makes your training less repetitive and boring. But you don't need to learn ALL of the weapons. I like the Bo. it's very similar to the "quarter staff" which was a weapon used in the middle ages in England and yes, peasants could use it effectively against upper class nobles who had swords. Quarter staff matches were a popular and (very rough) sport at medieval fairs. Each village had a local champion and people would place bets on the matches. It is fun to compare the martial arts traditions of different nations and discover when they have things in common.

Me: Can we get Kobudo weapons?
Mom: We have Kobudo weapons at home?
Kobudo weapons at home: garden tools and kitchen utensils

1:04 even the old masters are rocking the seishin logo

[hongkongcantonese]

So knowledgeable. It's great that you are a custodian of these ancient traditions.

When Jesse San and Master Ken post videos at the same time!!! Hard life choices! Matayoshi Kobudo nerd here.

[sultanali]

It's very sad that in today's time kobudo and karate are totally separate from each other now a days most of the person can learn only one from them either karate or kobudo. I also want to learn kobudo but due to so many problems I am unable but I am still trying and someday I will also learn the kobudo.

Great video sensei your video never fails to teach something new. Lots of respect for you.

[SifuRodriguez]

Really love your videos. I hope one day to be able to afford to take your classes. I am a southern praying, mantis, teacher myself. I can always see when you mention the truth of the Chinese Gung Fu that is in the old Okinawan styles. I can see those same movements in my own system. Thank you and God bless you for preserving these wonderful treasures.
🙏🏻♥️☦️♥️🙏🏻

[LairdErnst]

Very cool! The more you dig into the martial arts the deeper it gets and the more you find out. Love it!

[GearandGames]

As a Yammani-Ryu practioner myself, it's nice to hear about the other styles of kobudo.

[brasildiegopro]

Another good video from your channel. I'm graduated in Kung Fu however I always admired Karate as well. Whenever possible I will enroll in your kubudo course.

[Victor-xhye]

I clicked the moment I got the notification

[szabolcsmadarasi]

Hi Jesse! I've watched a lot of videos from you recently, and wanna thank you, for grabbing me back to karate! (want to go to a dojo at autumn)
I finished at 3rd kyu (Shotokan) about 10 years ago, because I'm a cellist myself (my hands are important you know), but now with an adult head, I have different opinions. Hopefully, I can match music and karate in the future, it will be a big challenge. Thank you for your work and enthusiasm. Greetings from Hungary!

[manuelfu]

Again a great video and a good description about the differences. Very cool explained.
Hope to see more videos like these or new kata videos, Jesse-san 😊

[shawntailor]

[RubbishGimpy]

I recently stumbled upon your channel. I love your videos. The history and evolution of Karate and older fighting styles is very informative and engaging. Excellent work.

[LoiTrankarate]

I knew kobudo from him . And trying to learn kobudo from Kinjo family his pioneer at tournaments

[martinmurphy]

Jesse Sensei, I've just started up karate again after a long break at the age of 51. Your videos are both inspirational and informative and I am embracing the Karate Nerd lifestyle!
