Ohtsuka Sensei

Learn the traditional art of Wado Ryu Karate

Wado-Ryu Karate is a Japanese martial art founded by Hironori Ohtsuka Sensei in 1934. Ohtsuka Sensei developed Wado-Ryu after studying the Samurai martial art of Jiu-jitsu, and Shotokan (another style of Karate). This combination, according to Ohstuka Sensei, is a more natural means of self-protection.

The name of the style is Wado-Ryu. The term Wado-Ryu means “way of peace”.
