Welcome to the Kobushi-Do "Little Warrior Way" Home Page. "Kobushi-Do" Best Children's Martial Art of 2006, Awarded by The World Head of Family Sokeship Council.


	Kobushi-Do (The Little Warrior Way) S.S.M.A.'s Childrens art This page updated last on March 27, 2007 Attention Students: We will be starting our black belt club in April. To join there will be a one time enrollment fee of $25.00 and then a $10.00 fee per month for two black belt club member classes per month. The two classes will focus on advanced techniques, flow/feeling/sensitivity drills and training for a demo team and then assistant instructor training. There will be an embroidered black belt purchased for the student and hung in the dojo on a rack for him or her to work toward. this helps build goal setting and goal achieving. Please see Shihan Murdock to enroll. We must have at least 4 members to start the program and schedule the classes. I'll have a sign up sheet in the dojo Attention Students: Effective March 26, 2007, due to the recent interest in traditional Bujinkan Ninjutsu from some of our Kobushi-Do students that have been training in Bujinkan Ninjutsu at other locations, we have decided to allow children to train in our traditional Bujinkan Ninutsu class at REBD. We will be allowing children ages 8 and up to join and train in the Bujinkan Ninjutsu class. Children ages 8 through 13 must have written permission from their parents to train in Ninjutsu. The cost will be an additional $25.00 for present members and an additional $40.00 for new members We ask the Kobushi-Do students who train in traditional Bujinkan Ninjutsu to refrain from practicing the traditional Ninjutsu techniques in the Kobushi-Do class. This is one the reasons we're opening the Ninjutsu class to children so they may also train in traditional Bujinkan Ninjutsu in addition to Kobushi-Do. The Ninjutsu in Kobushi-Do has been changed and modified to fit with the other four arts that make up the Kobushi-Do style and may not be the same as the traditional techniques. Thanks, Shihan Mark Murdock Pictured top: Our newest Kobushi-Do Assistant Instructor, Kira Brothers.

Kobushi-Do received an award from the World Head of Family Sokeship Council. It is now recognized internationally. SSMA received "Kobushi-Do, Best Children's Martial Art School of The Year" We are very honored to recieve this award. Kobushi-Do Jujitsu teaches self respect, self dicsipline, self control and self defense. Students gain self esteem and self confidence through out the training. Students are taught to protect life and to avoid violence whenever possible. Techniques taught at our school are practiced at a slow to moderate speed and in light to medium contact. This is for all beginner children. We practice slower and more gentle with medium to light force. Higher ranking Kobushi-Do Jujitsu students will use more speed and contact, "with control" as they advance in skill and belt rank. Safety will always be our most important aspect during our training. The techniques involve control style joint locks, escapes from various grabs and holds, throws and takedowns, basic weapons training at the start and then progressing into intermeadiate and then advanced weapons as the student gains skill and belt rank. Advanced-ranking Kobushi-Do Jujitsu students "Brown belt and above" learn a "flow" of technique, weapons, and counters to modern day attacks that can happen in shools systems, such as multiple attackers, gun and knife assaults. Kobushi-Do classes are held at Southern School of Martial Arts located at McGee's Crossroads, NC.(Exit 319/I-40 and Hyw. 210) *First Class Free!* Tuition rates at the McGee's Crossroads location, $60.00 per month for Kobushi-Do. Children under 13 not permitted to train in the adult Manabi-Masho Jujitsu class. Children ages 13 to 18 must have parents written permission to train in the adult class. Kobushi-Do class is now in full swing. We're growing and we have several beginners training right now. We have several more openings for beginners. To enroll students must be in the age range of 6 to 15. *Family Discounts Available, please call for more information.* Kobushi-Do has a low student to instructor ratio.

Max The Dog Say's Be Cool and Stay Away From Drugs Pictured above is Max the golden retriever Kobushi-Do is a martial arts program for children, ages 6 to 15. Kobushi-Do was created in October of 2001 and was designed from Manabi-Masho Ju-Jitsu, Aikido, Judo and selected techniques of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu (Ninjutsu) and selected tecniques from Karate. It has been broken down into an very easy and fun to learn format. Kobushi-Do teaches children self-defense, physical fitness, respect/self respect, self conidence and self esteam, discipline, honesty/integrity and fairness/kindness toward others, as well as many other life lessons in a fun and entertaining environment. One of our most important words of wisdom that we teach is "Protect life and avoid violence whenever possible". Students learn valuable life and self defense lessons while having fun using games of skill and various fun dojo contests. Instructor: Master/Shidoshi-Ho Mark Murdock, Founder and creator Kobushi-Do, 6th Degree Black Belt Kobushi-Do Beginner Kobushi-Do class enrollment starting now. First class always free! For more information, please call 919-753-7964.or email manabi-masho.nc@earthlink.net *call to schedule a FREE one week trial.* There are so many child abductions and murders happening now. We teach children how to escape grabs and how to avoid dangerous situations. Todays children need to have at least a basic knowledge of self defense. Kobushi-Do is a real martial art that is recognized internationally and children can earn a belt rank, all the way to black belt, if they desire. We are cheaper than the other martial arts schools in the Wake and Johnston county areas. Our goal is to teach children how to stay alive out there in the dangerous world, not to get rich teaching martial arts. *A Recent Kobushi-Do Class.* Pictured above: a recent Kobushi-Do class. Southern School of Martial Arts recognizes all belt ranking from any other styles or martial arts school. They're welcome to train at our school. We will recognize their ranks no matter what art or school they trained in. They earned that rank and we feel that they should be able to wear that rank for all their hard work in that art. They will be permitted to wear that rank while training at our school. They will keep their rank from their original art. They will add Kobushi-Do ranks in addition and separate from their other rank as they progress. Bennett going through the stick obstagle during the games of skill part of class.
