Matayoshi Kobudo Weapons
Class Description:
One of the arts trained at FSK is Matayoshi Kobudo. Kobudo is the traditional Okinawan weapons art, and includes training of the bo, tonfa, nunchuku, sai as well as the akou (boat oar), kuwa (hoe), and other traditional weapons.
At FSK we offer a weekly class for students to explore another region of their martial arts journey through weaponery.
Instructor:
Sensei Terry Quinn
Sensei Terry began training Martial Arts over 35 years ago. He started out in Kyokushin Karate at the Saizen Dojo in Endicott NY. He trained Kyokushin karate briefly in New Paltz (where he must have trained with Shidoshi Sean when Shidoshi was only 14…. But he just can’t remember).
He switched to Tae Kwon Do after moving to Poughkeepsie NY. He has a 3rd degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do training under Kwang Jang Nim Robert Dvorkin. In addition he has trained Goju Ryu Karate, Pinjat Silat and has over 20 years of training in Matayoshi Kobudo (Traditional Okinawan Weapons). He joined Fighting Spirit Dojo when it opened in New Paltz and his three children are also students at the dojo.
