Ryukyu Oukehiden Motobu Udund demonstration by Motobu Choko Soke and his students by during the 2017 40th all Japan Aikido Kobudo Demonstration at the Nippon Budokan.

-- Official presentation by the Kobudo association --
The Motobu Udundi is a martial art that was developed and transmitted down to the current Soke within the royal Motobu family lineage in Okinawa. Studied and taught in secret were techniques with the sword, spear, Naginata, Bo, Jo, short stick, Nunchaku, but also tools that could be used as weapons like paddles or even stones.
During the Taisho era (1912-26) this art spread rapidly and got known even outside Japan.
The techniques were not meant to fight one against one, it was the aim to beat as many opponents as possible at the same time. Therefore, one used as many weapons as possible and kept moving constantly.
