RBKD Dojos Directory
  

The Ryukyu Bujutsu Kenkyu Doyukai (RBKD) was founded in 1985 by Master Chogi Kishaba in Okinawa, and Sensei Toshihiro Oshiro in the United States. The charter for this association is the research and development of Okinawan Karate and Kobujutsu technique. RBKD is open to practitioners from any traditional style of Karate who have a serious interest in the Okinawan Martial Arts.

The RBKD association is headed by Master Kishaba and administered in the United States by three directors: Sensei Oshiro - West Coast Director, Sensei Kiyoshi Nishime - Mid-West Director, and Sensei Toyotaro Miyazaki - East Coast Director. These four senior instructors are authorized to bring new Dojos into the organization and to award promotion certification in RBKD.

The RBKD curriculum centers on Okinawan weapons with an emphasis on Bo. It also includes practice and research with the other "traditional" Okinawan weapons of Sai, Tonfa, Kama, and Nunchaku. The underlying style for the RBKD is Yamanni-Chinnen Ryu Bojutsu. The hope and intent behind RBKD is that the practice and focus on the unique footwork and body dynamics of Yamanni-Ryu will deepen each of the members understanding of the Okinawan Martial Arts and translate into stronger movement and technique in their respective empty hand practices
