This table compares styles of kobudo. The weapons practiced by each style are listed. The styles listed below may practice strictly weapons, or may practice another martial arts (usually karate) as well.
Generally, weapons systems are not as formalized as karate systems. Some karate systems include weapons standard in their curriculum, while others may offer weapons training optionally. Some individual schools may teach additional weapons not necessarily taught by others in their system.
It is important to note that although many karate systems do not formally include weapons, individual schools may chose to teach kobudo. These karate systems may or may not be listed here.
