Columbia Karate’s traditional weapons training enhances the precision and effectiveness of our barehanded self defense techniques.  The only weapons that we train with are those that require and magnify our core karate dynamics.  Kokondo translates as “The Way of the Past and Present”.  

The weapons are a connection with the past and give you a deep insight into Kokondo Karate. 

The weapons are more than traditional.   Weapons training makes you stronger, improves balance and develops a solid body structure.  They provide a nice challenge and will spice up your training. To wield a weapon with skill and grace is great fun!  

The mechanics of our weapons training can transform everyday objects into self defense  weapons that can save your life when confronted by an armed or violent attacker.
