Kobudo is a very ancient art. The tools used were originally meant for farming and fishing but during the Japanese occupation of Okinawa hundreds of years ago the Okinawans modified these tools to turn them into weapons to defend against the samurai. 
The same principles of body movement used in kobudo are the same principles used in karate. Karate and kobudo work very well together. To combine Aiki Budo on top of that will make for a very well rounded practitioner.

The 10 most common Kobudo weapons are: bo, sai, tonfa, nunchaku, kama, timbe/rochin, tekko, kuwa, sansetsu kon, and nunti bo.
