Matayoshi Kobudo Kodokan Hojo Undo

Matayoshi Kobudo is a weapons school that is characterized, among other attributes, for the power of its techniques. This development is acomplished focusing on the concept of the use of body power rather than muscle power. Sanguinetti Sensei's experience in the martial arts has allowed him to develop an innovative training of hojo undo (supplementary equipment) in Kobudo to help practitioners to develop a deeper understanding of the execution of a technique with a Kobudo weapon. Sanguinetti Sensei incorporates in the regular Kobudo training the use of nagai chiishi (long stone lever weight).

Nagai chiishi: this hojo undo equipment is based on the concept of the chiishi used in Karate (see Karate Hojo Undo) but applied to the use of Kobudo weapons. Supplementary exercises with nagai chiishi helps to strengthen the grip and wrists, but mainly benefits the practitioner by understanding about the rotation of the body to be able to develop a proper technique with penetration. Training with this equipment also helps to develop good balance and very strong stances.
