Description
Wadō-ryū (和道流) is one of the four major karate styles, created by Hironori
Ōtsuka (1892-1982), who merged Shindō Yōshin-ryū jujutsu (of which he held
menkyo kaiden under Tatsusaburo Nakayama) with Okinawan karate learned from
Gichin Funakoshi and later Kenwa Mabuni and Motobu Chōki. It places emphasis on
tai sabaki, joint locks and throws alongside striking. Ōtsuka first taught
karate at Tokyo University in 1929 and registered the style with the Dai Nippon
Butoku Kai in 1938 as 'Shinshu Wadoryu Karate-Jujutsu', soon shortened
to Wadō-ryū.
