What is Wado Karate?

Wado Karate is a Japanese martial art by Hironori Ohtsuka Sensei in 1934. Othsuka Sensei developed Wado after studying the Samurai martial art of Jiu-jitsu, and Shotokan (another Style of karate). This combination, according to Othsuka Sensei, is a softer, more natural means of self-protection.The full name of the style is Wado-Ryu karate -do.The term Wado Ryu mean “way of peace” or “way of harmony”. Indicatoring Othsuka Sensei’s original intention to use training in Wado as Karate-Do means “way of empty hand”, as karate is, for the most part, studied without the use of weapons.
