Matsukawa-Kai Matayoshi-Ryu Kobudo (Weapons)
Matayoshi Kobudo is a traditional
Okinawan style that has been taught by
the Matayoshi family since the early
1900’s. It has branches throughout the
world with its headquarters in Naha,
Okinawa.
Many people who teach Karate may also
teach a bit of Kobudo, that they may have
learnt here and there over the years.
However Colin Sensei is one of a select
few in Brisbane who teach a complete
style encompassing many weapons.
Colin Sensei originally started training
under Arthur Moulas Shihan, President
& Founder of Matayoshi Kobudo
Australia in Sydney around 1997. Every
few weeks he would travel a 5 hour round
trip just to further his knowledge of Kobudo. To ensure he did not forget
what he had been taught, he would always practice again when he
returned home. This happened for many years and during this time he
progressed through the grades reaching 1st Dan in 2000.
Colin was successful in obtaining his 4th Dan from Itokazu Seiko Sensei,
Gaja Sensei and Matayoshi Soke in 2010 in Okinawa.
In 2018 we became an independant dojo teaching Matayoshi Kobudo
under the name Matsukawa-Kai. This change was put in place to allow us
to teach Matayoshi Kobudo the way Colin Sensei was taught..
