Sherbourne's Karate-Kobudo-Jiujitsu Dojo

The Karate Kata that are practiced at Arts of Budo Inc.: Sherbourne's Karate Kobudo Jiujitsu Dojo and the WKKJF have been developed in Okinawa, Japan and passed on from teacher to student over the last 300 years.  The kata were developed so that techniques (waza) could be practiced in isolation with discretion as the ruling governments had banned any organized military training by locals.  The fear was that the Okinawan people would organize and raise an army with the necessary skills for combat and eventually overthrow the imposed foreign governments from Japan and China.

Hakutsuru Ichi and Hakutsuru Ni were taught by Master Odo in the summer of 1994 along with Kobudo Kata: Chatanyara No Sai and Miazato No Tekkos Ichi and Ni.
