About OKAI
The organization was formed on 1st May 2001 by Sensei Salil Nadkarni (Godan in Isshinryu Karate and Chodan in Taekwondo), a resident of Pune, Maharashtra, India with a view to impart Kobudo (traditional Okinawan weaponary) training to the interested students in this wonderful art. He decided to learn and master the Matayoshi Kobudo. The reason to choose the art of Matayoshi Kobudo is, it is a multi weoponed art Sensei Salil teaches this system at his hombu dojo. He had guidance from masters, to name a few, Sensei Mikio Nishiuchi, Sensei Arthor Moulas, Sensei Ted Gambordella.
