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.

All of us should take note there is over half a century between Oliver and Keith and they both did themselves and the club proud. I will say that I looked upon them both with immense satisfaction and a sense of pride. Surely passing on martial arts doesn’t bring better times than this. Thank you both you made me a happy instructor.
