Do you practice “kobudo”, traditional weapons arts from Okinawa and Japan? If so why not join our next 100 Kata Challenge event on March 31st, 2024 and take on the challenge of performing 100 Kobudo kata? What is your preferred weapon? Bo, sai, nunchaku maybe? How about kama or even eku? In Okinawa kobudo practice goes hand in hand with karate practice (no pun intended!) as part of the traditional “bushi / samuree” martial skillset passed down from generation to generation over hundreds of years.

The 100 Kata Challenges are a celebration of our passion for martial arts and our connection with Okinawa, the birthplace of karate. Every year more and more people around the world take up the challenge and join our worldwide community of karate and kobudo fans.

The rules of the event are simple. Participants are free to choose a preferred kata, and progress at their own pace. Participation is open to all ages and levels. Even if you are not sure you can complete 100 repetitions we warmly encourage you to take on the next challenge event and do your best. The only way you can fail is by not taking part!

As always we invite everyone to take part from wherever you are – at home, your dojo, an outside location or wherever. Choose a location and time that works for you. This event is an amazing opportunity to take on a challenge alongside your friends and dojo colleagues! Please take pictures and video and share your journey and share with us on BujinTV Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. https://www.facebook.com/groups/198797441958803 https://www.instagram.com/bujintv/ official hashtags : #100kata #100katachallenges
