Kobukan
Classical Japanese martial arts for modern, practical self-defence.
Traditional Jujutsu, Ninpo, and Kobudo training across Europe.
About Kobukan
The Kobukan Kobudo Renmei is dedicated to the preservation and teaching of traditional Japanese martial arts. We focus on classical forms of Jujutsu, Ninpo, and weapons systems (Kobudo).
Our approach emphasizes practical application, biomechanics, and the philosophical underpinnings of the samurai and ninja traditions, rather than modern sport competition.
Kancho James Wright
The Kobukan Kobudo Renmei is guided globally by Kancho James Wright, who spent over 30 years training in Japan, receiving direct instruction from senior koryu masters. The European Shibu proudly represents and transmits these classical traditions across our network of dojos.
