Wado-Ryu Karate

Wado Ryu is one of the world's major karate styles. It may be argued that Wado-ryu is a Jujutsu style rather than Okinawan Karate. When first registered with the Japanese Dai-Nippon-Butoku-Kai in 1938 the style was called Shinshu Wadoryu Karate-Jujutsu, a name which reflects the hybrid nature of Wado. Wado-ryu's founder Hironori Ohtsuka was already a licensed practitioner in Shindo Yoshin Ryu and Yoshin Koryu Jujutsu when he first met the Okinawan karate master Funakoshi. After having received tutelage of not only Funakoshi but later also the Okinawan masters Mabuni and Motobu, he set off to merge Shindo Yoshin Ryu with Okinawan Karate.

Karate section grade 18th April

We would like to say a big well done to all who took and passed the grading on the 18th April 2010. Some of the participants are shown on this photo proudly showing their new colour belts although it is to be noted that not a smile is on offer from any?

 

Once again we would like to thank The Minster Strays for providing us with our Christmas entertainment. THANK YOU.

We at Mura martial arts club finished off 2009 with a donation of £200 to our chosen charity HELP FOR HEROS. We were privileged to have as guests on our end of years training presentation night two members of our local area armed forces Lt Wyatt and C/Sjt Carswell of The Rifles. The cheque for £200 was handed over to Selbys Con MP can Mr Nigal Adams who in turn presented it to Lt Wyatt. 

The enclosed photo shows Sensei Keith Dawson Masters Oliver Friar Jake Osborne and Jude Broadley youngest members from the karate section, Stuart Hardy and Terry Tordoff from the Sword section, Nigal Adams Lt Wyatt and C/Sjt Carswell The Rifles.

Well just look who Debbie and Dave presented the Danny San Cup to this year!

A big well done John.  You were picked by most of the club instructors for your hard work and dedication, hope you keep it up.

We dont know the correct name but mayby a Gaggle of Friars would do.

Not a good photo as I took it but you look a bit happier at least!!

Hear we have the first three back from the 2010 Selby bike ride.  Spot Sensei Rob!
