Traditional Japanese weapons also found their way into the mix, so quite an arsenal of “Karate weapons” has developed over the years. It can be used in a similar manner as a Bo staff but provides a bit more striking force due to the large size of its striking surface.

Nunchaku are difficult to master, requiring a significant amount of dexterity and skill. They are often used as a training weapon because learning to use them greatly improves the user’s coordination and focus. Training with these Okinawan weapons came to be known as Kobudo. If you want to get technical, most Karate weapons are actually Kobudo weapons. Hold your Katana above you and charge up. Release the charge to summon an energy blade and cleave through your foes.

The Surujin is a weighted chain or rope. Stones were attached to either end in older versions, but modern-day ones typically use metal weights or points on each end. The Okinawans prized it because it was so incredibly easy to conceal, yet was still an effective weapon when the user was properly trained. Attaching weapon mods will boost a weapon’s durability, although you’ll only be able to raise the stat several times. Once you’ve run out of mod slots, there’s no other way to repair your weapon, meaning you’ll have to let it break. They can also be held the other way with the longer end extending out from the fist, giving the user greater reach for longer-range combat. The Surujin can be swung or thrown to strike with the metal points plus there are entrapment techniques using the chain.

Karate, though based on an ancient form of Chinese martial arts, didn’t become a Japanese martial art or get its name until 1936. It was developed on the island of Okinawa and its name changed to distance it from the Chinese (Japan’s enemy) when it was brought to Japan by Funakoshi Gichin, the father of modern Karate. There you have it! This is a pretty complete list of all the Karate weapons names, or shall we say Kobudo weapons used in Karate. Most of them are Okinawan weapons by origin, though there are a few Japanese martial arts weapons that were introduced after Karate went to Japan. The Hanbo is like the Bo’s scrappy kid brother. Like the Bo, it is a simple wooden staff that can do some serious damage when wielded by an expert. However, this staff is shorter, typically only about 3 feet long (91 cm), or customized to match the length between the hip and ankle. Modern-day Tekkos are typically made of metal or wood, custom-sized to the user’s hand, and have between 1 to 3 spikes. Ranged weapons allow you to take out enemies from afar, using projectiles such as arrows and bolts.
