Folks,

I am in the process of updating this link list. Please provide links in replies to this thread. I will compile the results into a master list which will act as an FAQ/reference library for this forum.

Thanks,

Thanks to Jay for the updated link for the Oshiro dojo. I've changed the link above.

Thanks also to Jim Kass who pointed out that the previous link to the Oshiro dojo was obsolete.

Thanks to Pat McCarthy who provided an updated link for the General Headquarters of the Taira~Inoue Kobudo line.

Regards to all,

[Pavel Dolgachov]

One more link for
Ryukyu Kobudo Hozon Shinkokai (Taira ~ Akamine line) (official web-site)
www.ryukyu-kobudo.com

Sincerely
Pavel

Here are links to a couple of custom kobudo weapon makers here in the US. Both these people do a great job within their specialties:

www.weaponsconnection.com (best metal weapons made in US by far)

www.crane-mountain.com (best wooden weapons that I've found...period.)

I have no interest in either operation other than being a satisfied customer. Both will do extensive customizations to virtally anything they make.

Happy Holidays,

Even though these links are mainly in Swedish I thought they would suite fine here. As a proof that Kobudo/Kobujutsu is practised in many countries around the world.

These two represent Yamanae Ryu and Tairas`s lineage`s in Sweden, so I think they are important. Matayoshi Kobudo is not practised here. Yet? :)

The domain name ryukyukobudo.com was just sold so look for a new web site over the next few months. It was sold to a yamani ryu group.

All,

We have added some information to the kata section and weapons section. Please have a look. There will be more updates in the near future as we flesh out the look and feel.

I attended to a seminar of Chinen Kenyu sensei, and I can only advise him and his organisation to anybody. He represents the Matayoshi line (he was a trainee of Matayoshi Shinpo himself)

Here's the official site: http://www.oshukai.com
