Matayoshi Kobudo weapons

Dani_001 · Orange Belt

Hey peeps. So in two week's time I will be starting Kobudo with Okinawa Kobudo Doushi Rensei Kai.

First weapon to learn is the Bo. What other weapons does this system have? I know wiki has answers but I wanna know from those who actually study the system.

Thanks in advance.

Zaine · Black Belt

Generally it contains:

Bo
Nunchaku
Sai
Kama
Tonfa
Eku

Not necessarily in that order, a lot of Okinawan karate that practices kobudo as well contains these weapons. However, more specialized schools that I have run into have commonly contained:

Sansetsukon (three-section staff)
Nunti-bo (Spear)
Tinbei (Shield)
Surujin (Weighted rope)
Kuwa (Hoe)
Tekko (A variation on what we would recognize as a brass knuckle)

Again, not necessarily in that order. Usually never a katana or any type of sword.
