United States Headquarters
The headquarters of the Kobukan United States Shibu, led by the US Shibu-cho. This location offers regular instruction and supports the growth of Kobukan throughout the United States.
Official Dojo
An established Kobukan training location led by a certified instructor. Official dojos provide regular classes, rank progression, and direct connection to the Kobukan curriculum.
Training Group
Training Groups have passed the initial development phase and are authorized to formally offer training under a designated junior instructor. They are not yet black belt level, and get more regular guidance from the United States Shibu to aid in rank promotion and training fundamentals.
Study Groups
Study Groups are developing training communities for areas without a resident certified instructor. Members train together while receiving guidance and support from the United States Shibu, making them an excellent way to begin training and grow Kobukan locally.
