Kodokan Martial Arts
read moreKodokan Martial Arts is an organisation that incorporates Karate (empty hand) and Kobudo (Okinawan weapons) that are steeped in traditional Budo (Martial Arts) and not just for sport. We are a non-profit making organisation and no instructor takes a wage for their time in teaching the various classes. All the money goes into keeping the dojo (schools) open. Because the organisation is based upon true Budo our students don't just learn the technical side of Karate and Kobudo, but the language (Gengo), Etiquette (Reigi), and philosophy (Tetsugaku) that goes that goes with the art.

In conjunction, you, as a student, evolve the technical ability and adequate strength to render an aggressor in a safe and controlled manner. In order to fully understand the innermost secrets and fundamental nature of any martial art, the student must train with the proper attitude, exhibit courtesy and the correct etiquette. It has to be noted that the enhancement of both elements should be developed in a parallel progression.
