Kancho
Kancho James Wright, hailing from the United Kingdom, embarked on his martial arts journey from a young age, initially delving into the world of Judo. However, it was in the early 1980s that his path took a profound turn upon encountering classical Japanese martial arts. This pivotal moment ignited his passion for martial arts and set him on a lifelong quest for mastery.
Driven by a thirst for knowledge and a relentless pursuit of excellence, Kancho Wright made the bold decision to relocate to Japan in the early 1990s. Immersing himself in the rich tapestry of Japanese martial traditions, he dedicated countless hours to honing his skills across a spectrum of disciplines. From Gyokko Ryu to Koto Ryu, Kukishin Ryu to Togakure Ryu, and beyond, Kancho Wright delved deep into the essence of each system, absorbing their wisdom, and embodying their principles.
Kancho Wright's journey didn't stop there. During his tenure in Japan, he sought to expand his expertise beyond traditional martial arts, undertaking rigorous training in tactical firearm and defensive tactics courses. This holistic approach to training equipped him with a comprehensive skill set, blending ancient wisdom with modern methodologies.
Today, Kancho Wright stands as a beacon of innovation and tradition, bridging the gap between the ancient arts of the samurai and shinobi with the demands of the contemporary world. His visionary leadership has not only preserved the timeless teachings of these venerable traditions but has also revitalized them for the modern era, ensuring their relevance and efficacy in the 21st century.
With Kancho Wright at the helm, the Kobukan Kobudo Renmei embodies a commitment to excellence, innovation, and authenticity. His unparalleled expertise and unwavering dedication have inspired countless practitioners to embark on their own martial arts journeys, empowering them to reach new heights of skill, knowledge, and self-discovery. Through his leadership, the legacy of Japanese martial arts continues to thrive and evolve, enriching the lives of practitioners around the globe.
