Kobudo
Traditional Okinawan Weapons:
Bo, Nunchaku, Eaku, Tonfa, Sai, Kama
Our KMA Kobudo Program
Our Kobudo Classes focus on several traditional Japanese/Okinawan weapons: Bo, Nunchaku, Eaku, Tonfa, Sai, Kama. Many of these weapons were improvised from farming tools because regular weapons (spears, swords, bows and arrows) were restricted to the ruling class. At KMA we teach a progression of weapons that allows students to grow in their understanding and eventual mastery of each weapon.
Self Defense
Japanese Ju Jitsu
Street Fighting
Gun and Knife Defense
Women's Self Defense
Our KMA Self Defense Classes
Our Self Defense Classes are designed to prepare you for the unthinkable. From developing awareness about your surroundings to being physically prepared to fight back, our program develops confidence in all areas. Our program borrows from many different martial arts styles including Karate, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Krav Maga and others. We teach self defense from all aspects – standup, on the ground, against weapons and against multiple attackers.
Competition
We Participate in traditional karate do competitions which focus on Kata, Kobudo and Kumite.
Our KMA Tournament Team
Tournaments offer students the opportunity to grow in their training through competition. At karate tournaments, no athlete sits on the bench; everyone gets the opportunity to compete. Karate competition offers some great advantages to students wanting to sharpen their karate skills. The character, discipline, respect and self-control that we focus on in our regular classes are all important aspects of competition. Tournaments are a fun and exciting way to take those next steps in developing not only in karate, but as a person.

"My boys love Sensei Koenig! He is great with the kids and they have a ton of fun in class while getting exercise, learning to be respectful (they have started saying yes ma'am/sir to use at home - thanks Sensei!) and learning to be confident kids. I have definitely seen a difference in both boys since starting the class! Highly recommended!"

"This is one of those authentic places to learn martial arts. I am very glad I found Sensei Koenig. I came here from a different martial arts practice from east of the world, I could relate very well with what Sensei Koenig teaches. I highly recommend and one of the best gifts you can give to yourself and your kids."

"My son practices Karate at this Dojo and I've got to say I'm truly impress with Sensei Koenig level of dedication with all his students. He makes sure to give feedbacks to each and every one of them during class. He transmits confidence, and teaches Karate in a way so students can understand that Karate is both physical and mental activity. For youngsters he always find time to do something fun at the end of the class. If you want to learn traditional Shotokan Karate I would say to pay this Dojo a visit, you will not be disappointed. He also has additional programs like self-defense, Kobudo, etc."
