Dedicated to preserving tradition, refining skill, and preparing for real-world self-defense.
Founded in 2023, the Kobukan Kobudo Renmei is committed to preserving and passing on the rich traditions of Japanese martial arts in a practical and welcoming environment. Under the leadership of James Wright Kancho, the Kobukan carries forward the esteemed lineages of Takamatsu Toshitsugu and Sato Kinbei.
