Description

Welcome to Penshurst Martial Arts(Naraasun Dojo) where we offer structured Karate and Kobudo classes for all ages and abilities, no experience necessary, only a willingness to learn in a positive, fun, safe, mentor style environment.

Traditional Okinawan karate is not only a martial art, but a way of life. It uses effective natural forms in its execution i.e. nothing your body wasn't designed to do; Efficient movement or as we say, minimum action for maximum gain, adaptable for all body types and strength profiles. Basically if its overcomplicated you wont remember it when you need it. At our core is the battle of mind, body and spirit (Sanshin) and a hard soft philosophy.

There are many benefits to studying traditional Okinawan kobudo alongside karate training. Kobudo teaches weapon techniques using implements originally based on farming and fishing tools, such as the Bo staff(Roku Shaku Bo), Sai, Nunchaku, Tonfa, Tinaka, Kama, Ieku(Eku), and Nunti Bo. Practicing with these weapons helps develop coordination, timing, power, and an understanding of weapons applications that reinforces and enhances empty-hand karate skills. The weapons become extensions of the body that improve muscle memory, reflexes, and the ability to generate maximal force and speed. Kobudo and karate also share foundational principles like proper stances, breath control, and whole-body unity of motion. (Classes for High school age students and up)

We instruct in the traditional Okinawan system of Goju-Ryu Meibukan karate(empty hand self-defence) and Koburyu Kobudo(Okinawan weaponry), maintaining a direct, documented lineage to our roots in Okinawa, Japan.
