In 1921, Kentsu Yabu was the first person recognized as a Karatedoka in Okinawa to visit America. Yabu had another distinctive “first” in his life. Rikugun Kyododan (12/1871- 11/1899---Army Instructor Teams) educated non-commissioned officers for the Japanese military.------------------------------- ---------------- Ironically, his first son, Kenden Yabu (1888- 1939), was a person to become a conscientious objector. As a result, Kentsu and Kenden had a very difficult time communicating. Kenden had two younger brothers, Kenyu and Kenshin. Kenden’s solution was to go to America to find a better environment.------- ----------------------------------------When Yabu went to the U.S.A., three Okinawan Karatedoka moved to the mainland of Japan within a few years.

It is intended to act as a model methodology of how these kata should be performed not only in normal class activity but more importantly in both Kyu and Dan gradings. This guidance is the accumulation of many years of training and research by both the Chief Instructor Dave Swalwell 6th Dan and the Chief Coaching Officer John Stephenson 6th Dan. Their combined knowledge and understanding and having the experience of training with most of Hironori Otsuka remaining students, as well as other well renowned karate-ka, has enabled the Association to publish this extensive guidance document. The technical updates in this guide amount to the traditional way in which the Pinan kata was taught by the founder Hironori Otsuka and is in line with the EKW’s constitutional commitment to “foster and develop the art of Wado Ryu along traditional lines.” The EKW acknowledges that initially some of the updates will by new to some, but in time these will become embedded into the Associations training and become the normal way.

  • O'sensei Hironori Ohtsuka
    O’Sensei Hironori Ohtsuka "I Never Fret About the Past. I Concentrate On The Present and Plan For the Future." Hironori Ohtsuka was born on 1st June 1892 in Shimodate City, Ibaragi, Japan. He was the first son, and the second of four children, of Dr. Tokujuro Ohtsuka, a Doctor of Medicine. Ohtsuka Sensei was first introduced to martial arts by his great uncle, Chojiro Ebashi, a samurai warrior, who began teaching him Jujitsu. This marked the starting point of his life-long fascination with the martial arts. On the 1st April, 1897 (4 yrs & 10 months), Ohtsuka Sensei started school where he studied Shindo Yoshin Ryu Jujutsu, under the supervision of his father. Later, when he was 13, he studied the style under Shinzaburo Nakayama Sensei, the third Grand Master of this style of jujitsu. Unlike the other schools of jujitsu at the time, Shindo Yoshin Ryu specialized in kicking and punching techniques in addition to throwing, twisting and locking techniques. Ohtsuka Sensei continued to study the style while at Waseda University from 1910 to 1917. He also studied different styles of Jujitsu, concentrating on their positive aspects. In doing so, Ohtsuka Sensei learned a great deal about the body's vital points for both attacking and healing purposes. Eight years after his father died, after much dedicated study, he took over the Mastership of Shindo-Yoshin-Ryu Jujitsu from Master Nakayama after being presented a certificate of "Full Proficiency" in that art. It was June 1, 1921, his 29th birthday. Master Otsuka was the fourth master of Shindo-Yoshin-Ryu Jujitsu.

  • Founder of Wado-Ryu - Hironori Otsuka Hironori Otsuka Was Born in the City of Shimodate in Ibaraki Prefecture on June 1, 1892
    Founder of Wado-Ryu - Hironori Otsuka Hironori Otsuka was born in the city of Shimodate in Ibaraki Prefecture on June 1, 1892. On April 1, 1897, at the age of 5, he started to receive tuition in martial arts from his Uncle Chojiro Ehashi, who was a master in the former Tsuchiura Clan. In April of 1905, the 14-year-old Hironori became a disciple of Master Shinzaburo Nakayama of the Shinto Yoshin-Ryu Jujutsu school. On June 1, 1920, the 29-year-old Hironori attained the degree of full mastership in the art, which was the highest rank in the school. This formally made him the 4th Generation successor of the style. In July of 1922, Hironori Otsuka began to study Ryukyu (Okinawan) Karate. By adding elements of Okinawan Karate to his foundation of Jujustu he created an innovative style of martial art which blended the supreme elements of both fighting forms. At the age of 43, in May of 1934, Hironori Otsuka officially founded Wado-Ryu Karate Jutsu/Wado-Ryu Jujutsu Kenpo. Hironori used the principle of “Wa” which not only has its literal and broader meaning of “harmony”, but also indicates something that is holistic and in balance with our universe. In his composition of “武の道 はただ荒事とな想ひそ和の道を究め和を求む道” (Bu no Michi wa Tada Aragoto to na Omoi so Wa no Michi wo Kiwame Wa wo Motomu Michi )which is roughly translated as “Martial art is not a path that leads to fighting and brutality. It is a path where one needs to always seek and pursue balance and harmony”.

  • Christina Gutz
    Christina Gutz Traditional Karate versus Sports Karate? „Martial art technique is like the cosmos, it is infinite. Know that there are no such things as limits.“ Hironori Otsuka1 A brief historical introduction Karate developed on the Ryukyu Islands, i.e. modern-day Okinawa, from the end of the 14th century for many hundreds of years as a fighting and self-defense system under Chinese influence. Early in the 20th century, karate was introduced to the Japanese mainland. It was first demonstrated to the general public in June 1922 at an event organized by the Japanese culture ministry, the „Dai Ikkai-Taiiku Tenrankai“.2 Unlike koryu, the traditional Japanese martial arts which were developed before the 1868 Meiji Restoration, karate is part of Gendai Budo, the martial arts established in Japan after 1868. The purposes of Gendai Budo are, on the one hand, the development of one´s own personality and, on the other hand, self-defense. Wado ryu karate is an exception from this because Hironori Otsuka (1892 – 1982), who founded Wado ryu in 1934, incorporated his knowledge of the Japanese Shindo Yoshin ryu, a koryu style, into it. 3 Anko Itosu (1832 – 1916) reformed Okinawa karate in the early 20th century by transforming the secret martial art into a system which could be taught at schools in the sense of Do with a view to improving body and mind. Hironori Otsuka developed the most recent karate jiyu kumite techniques from jujutsu randori and shiai and introduced free-fighting into karate with a set of rules. From the historical point of view free- fighting came from the sword via jujutsu and kendo to karate.4, 5 Karate has been spreading since the end of the 2nd World War and has now diversified into various styles, such as Wado ryu, Shito ryu, Goju ryu, and Shotokan, and karate organizations, the biggest of which is the World Karate Federation (WKF).

  • Naihanchi / Tekki Le Kata Le Plus Meurtrier Du Karaté ?
    Naihanchi / Tekki Le kata le plus meurtrier du karaté ? Traduit de l'anglais par Karim Benakli Le kata Naihanchi (Tekki en Shotokan) est pratiqué par la majorité des styles de karaté. On dit du terme 'Naihanchi' qu'il signifie 'combattre de coté' à cause de l'embusen particulier de ce kata. Cet embusen mène souvent de nombreux karatékas à penser que ce kata est destiné à combattre sur un bateau, dans un couloir ou adossé à un mur. Comme nous le verrons ci-après, les pas sur le coté de ce kata n'ont rien à voir avec un éventuel combat dans un couloir mais on tout à voir avec la mise en incapacité effective d'un adversaire. En Shotokan, le kata a été renommé 'Tekki', qui se traduit par 'la position du cavalier', probablement sur base de la position dans laquelle les pratiquants de Shotokan effectuent le kata. Dans le temps, Naihanchi était souvent le premier kata enseigné mais de nos jours il est abordé à la ceinture marron. Naihanchi n'est pas très impressionnant visuellement, il n'y a aucune technique flamboyante et aucun saut sophistiqué, et il en résulte que peu de pratiquants l'apprécient. Ce kata a peu de chance de faire remporter quelque trophée que ce soit et est habituellement appris et pratiqué à contrecœur, dans le but unique de satisfaire aux exigences des passages de grade. Personnellement, je trouve cela honteux, et de mon point de vue ce kata a énormément à offrir à tout karatéka. Il semble que ce soit Sokon Matsumura (1796-1893) qui ait introduit Naihanchi dans le karaté.
