Jo-Do
Report
Jodo is the Japanese martial art of the short staff. It focuses on striking and blocking against an attacker with a sword. The Kosho School of Karate is one of only a few schools in the United States with a qualified and certified Jo-Do instructor. Our Jo-Do instructor, Nate England, lived in Japan for 3 years studying this art.
Sword
Report
Students begin their training by using a wooden sword (bokken), then a practice sword with a dulled blade (iaito), before graduating to a sharp edged sword (katana or tachi). Because Iaido is practiced with a weapon, the training is focused on the performance of solitary forms, or kata performed against imaginary opponents.
Self Defense
Report
Karate is the ultimate system of unarmed self defense. Karate specializes in strikes such as punching, kicking, chopping, clawing, and gouging techniques. Karate also includes locking, choking, pinning, and throwing techniques which are used in cases where grappling with an opponent is more practical than striking.
FAQs
Report
