Beginning Karate!
To begin karate you will need to come to the dojo (karate school) in comfortable
clothing for working out. If you decide to join the karate school, you will need to get
a plain white karate uniform. You can get this yourself, or I can order one for you.
(The cost will be about $30.) Cotton is the best material for karate uniforms.
The kind of karate we study is called Wado-Ryu and is a Japanese style that
includes not only punching, kicking and blocking techniques, but throwing and
control techniques as well. It is one of the four most-popular Japanese styles. Our
karate is designed for self-defense, but Wado-Ryu Karateka have made a
reputation as world-class tournament competitors. (The All-Japan Team is regularly
made up of mostly Wado karateka.)
When you first begin karate, the movements will seem awkward! This is because
your body is learning a whole new kind of movement. It is kind of like learning to
ride a bicycle. The movements will soon feel more natural, but you must be patient
at first.
Our school does not use "contracts" or other such agreements, but if you decide to
join, I ask you to make a commitment for at least six months, because it may take
that long for you to really see the progress you are making.
Fees for our school are payable monthly. Family rates are available if three or more
students from the same family attend.
As you progress, you will be given belt rank examinations and promoted from time
to time. There is a fee for each examination for registration and the belt.
Our school is a member of the Wado International Karatedo Federation, which has
member schools in many countries. When you receive your first belt rank
promotion, you will be a member of this federation.
Karate is a fun and exciting adventure that can last throughout your lifetime. Come
ready to work hard and have fun. Welcome to Wado-Ryu Karate!

Dojo Kun
(Dojo Maxims)
These maxims are mottos, the spirit of which serious students of karate should try to
follow if the wish to gain the maximum from their training. These maxims are like the
English sayings “Service, not self.”, “Deeds, not words”., and “Be prepared.” , and
exemplify an attitude which directs a way of life.
Reisetsu O Mamori
(follow the rules)
Shingo O Omanji
(loyalty to instructor and style)
Jojitsu Ni Oberezu
(Teachers and students are not one)
Shinkenmi Ni Tesseyo
(Be serious in your efforts)
Observe good etiquette and
and safety by following the
rules of the Dojo.
Changing styles and instructors is not the way of
Japanese martial arts. People who do so may not
learn the correct etiquette and spirit of martial
arts.
Outside of the Dojo, you can be friendly with your
Sensei, but do not take advantage of this
friendship. In the Dojo, show respect for your
Sensei.
No silliness, idle talk, chewing gum, eating or
drinking in the dojo. The dojo is not a social
gathering hall.

Six Principles of Kata
(Kata no Rokogensoku)
Ikita Kata – Kata must be alive and done with
feeling and purpose.
Inen – Kata must be performed with spirit.
Chikara no Kyojaku – Kata should be done with
changes in application of power. Techniques can be
strong or yielding, hard then soft.
Waza no Kankyu – kata should be done with
variations in timing of movement, sometimes
sometimes fast,
sometimes slow.
Kisoku no Donto – kata must be done with proper
rhythm of breathing.
Balance – Proper balance must be maintained in the
performance of kata.
- Tatsuo Suzuki Sensei

Five Principles of Kumite
(Kumite no Gogensoku)
Kwa Hayaku – Attack your opponent with a strong spirit. Do
not think about defense, only your attack.
Kokoro wa Shizuka – Always maintain a calm mind and
spirit.
Mi wa Karuku – Your movement and technique must be
polished and smooth.
Me wa Akirakani – When you look at your opponent, see all
of him. Do not fix your gaze on only one spot.
Waza wa Hageshiku – Your technique must be sharp.
- Tatsuo Suzuki Sensei

About Wado-Ryu Karate
Modern karate has its beginnings so far in the past that its earliest history is lost. What we do
know is that the roots of Wado-Ryu come from the martial arts traditions of China, Okinawa, and
Japan. Those elements came together in the last century due to the efforts of a most amazing
Japanese martial artist named Ohtsuka Hironori, or as Westerners would say it, Hironori
Ohtsuka.
Karate is a term which originally meant "T'ang-hand". This is in reference to the T'ang Dynasty
of China from which many karate concepts were adapted by the Okinawans. In the 15th and
16th Centuries, the Okinawans had developed a system of unarmed combat called Okinawa-te
or To-de or sometimes simply Te. This art was supposedly enhanced by the influence of Chinese
emmissaries in the 17th Century, who introduced kata, or forms, and other Chinese principles.
Among the kata believed to have been introduced were, notably, Kushanku and Chinto which
were supposedly named after the men who introduced them. This was at a time when Okinawa
had come under the control of Japan, and Okinawans were required to surrender their weapons
on pain of death. The empty-handed fighting arts may have been studied so that the Okinawans
might defend themselves from their conquerors. More recent investigation reveals that the
empty-handed fighting systems of Okinawa were probably developed by the "Pechin" class, who
were responsible for law-and-order as well as for the military.
Okinawa-te is often described as having developed in three main areas around the towns of
Naha, Tomari and Shuri, and was taught secretly for centuries, usually within families. We often
associate different emphasis in internal, external, and linear techniques as being representative
of the tode from these three areas. Over time, this art also came to be called karate-jutsu
(Chinese-hand fighting art).
A little before the beginning of the 19th century, karate-jutsu began to be taught in public
schools in Okinawa as a means of physical exercise for youth and as a way of preparing them for
military conscription. Hirohito, while Crown Prince of Japan, saw a demonstration of karate-jutsu
while on a visit to Okinawa, and subsequently asked that someone come from Okinawa to
demonstrate karate-jutsu on mainland Japan. The Okinawans, wanting their art to be
represented by a refined, "gentlemanly" person who was also an accomplished martial artist,
chose Gichin Funakoshi to represent their art. Funakoshi was a Shuri-te stylist and was
accomplished in poetry and calligraphy.
A first visit by Funakoshi was not successful, as it was given to primarily to representatives of
samurai families who were not much interested in an empty-handed art, but a later
demonstration in 1922 at the first public sports festival in Tokyo caused a great deal of interest
in karate. Funakoshi was asked to stay and teach his art. In 1933, Master Funakoshi changed
the ideogram, or written form for karate from one which meant China (T'ang) hand to one which
meant empty hand (though pronounced the same). The term empty hand carries with it many
Japanese Zen connotations appropriate to the concept of a "do" or "way" and was probably more
acceptable to Japanese, due to the political situation at that time. Mainland Japan already had
several indigenous empty hand combat arts (i.e., jujutsu, aikijujutsu, aikido, kenpo and judo),
and many Japanese found karate to be highly compatible with these existing systems.
6
In 1921, Master Hironori Ohtsuka, who had studied Shindo Yoshin Ryu jujutsu from an early
age, had been granted menkyo kaiden (certificate of full proficiency) from Tatsusaburo
Nakayama in that art. He had also visited many other jujutsu and kenpo dojos trying to learn
from as many styles as possible. In 1922, after a demonstration in Tokyo, Ohtsuka met with
Funakoshi at the Meisei Juku where he was staying at the time, and asked to study his karate.
He was accepted, and began to study immediately with Funakoshi. Because of his extensive
understanding of martial arts and his enthusiasm, he quickly absorbed Funakoshi's kata (which,
aside from basic technique, was all that was being taught at the time). He soon introduced the
concept of yakusoku kata (prearranged fighting techniques) which was warmly accepted by
Funakoshi. Ohtsuka was granted his black belt in karate in 1924, making him one of the first
Japanese to be promoted in this art. Because he continued to train in Shindo Yoshin Ryu jujutsu,
he was made a shihan (master teacher) in that art, and also became assistant instructor to
Funakoshi. During this time he also began to train with Kenwa Mabuni, Choki Motobu and
others, from whom he learned much additional information, especially concerning kata.
After Ohtsuka began to teach his karate at Tokyo University, he began to have conflicts with
Funakoshi over the introduction of jujutsu techniques and the practice of jiyu kumite (freesparring), of which Funakoshi did not approve, and there was a parting of the ways. Ohtsuka
introduced different kinds of body shifting techniques, a more upright stance for mobility, and
reliance on evasion and counter techniques. He also introduced throws and joint locks into the
repertoire and over time reduced the number of Tandoku kata in his system to nine. (Though
many schools teach several more, Ohtsuka believed these nine were sufficient if studied
properly.) These include Pin-an kata 1 through 5, Kushanku, Naihanchi, Seishan, and Chinto.
Advanced Wado practitioners also study Bassai, Niseishi, Wanshu, Rohai, Jitte and Jion.
As described by Sensei Masafumi Shiomitsu, 8th Dan Hanshi, Wado-Ryu may be considered
a synthesis of four elements: Shurite karatedo, Shindo Yoshin Ryu jujutsu, Toda-Ryu kodachi,
and Yagyu-Ryu kenjutsu. To the linear techniques of Shurite are added the body movement
principles and grappling techniques of Shinto Yoshin-Ryu, the nagasu techniques of Toda-Ryu
(which is a system of fighting with short sword against longer weapons), and the movement and
flow of Yagyu-Ryu style of swordsmanship. From these sources are defined several principles
which are fundamental and particular to Wado-Ryu.
Master Ohtsuka intentionally made his karate as Japanese as possible. He also discarded
techniques which he felt were ineffective and added much of his jujutsu technique. In the 1934,
when required to name his martial art, Ohtsuka submitted the name The Karate Promotion Club.
In 1940, when requested to submit an official name by the Butokakai, a governing body for
Japanese martial arts, Master Ohtsuka devised the name Shinshu Wado Jujutsu. This was later
shortened to Wado. The term wa means peace or harmony, but it also represents Japan as a
shortened form of Showa, which was the name for the era of Emperor Hirohito. Originally the
style was referred to as Wadokai which is "Wado-style" but upon becoming a hereditary system,
the name became Wado-Ryu. Master Ohtsuka's submission to the Butokukai contained a
comprehensive syllabus, but later he decided to exclude many of these techniques as
redundant. Due to Master Ohtsuka's commitment and innovation of technique, Wado-Ryu has
rapidly become one of the most popular karate systems throughout the world, and its early
acceptance of jiyu kumite has enabled it to be very successful in competition.
The emphasis on developing the whole body through regular exercise and training make
karate an excellent means of promoting good general health, and the application of the self
defense techniques builds confidence and promotes personal security. Ohtsuka Sensei, who died
7
in January, 1982, once said, "The difference between the possible and the impossible is one's
will." He practiced karate daily until his death at the age of 89.
Shortly before the death of the founder, Wado split into three organizations, usually referred
to as Wado-Ryu, Wado-Kai and Wado Kokusai. Wado-Ryu Karate is directed through the WadoRyu Karate-Do Renmei, Tokyo, Japan. Wado-Kai is represented by JKF Wado-Kai in Japan. A third
major organization, Wado Kokusai (Wado International Karatedo Federation) was founded by
Tatsuo Suzuki Sensei. Wado-Kai organizations retain the original symbol of a fist enclosed by a
dove. Wado-Ryu Karate-Do Renmei has adopted the kanji for "wa" enclosed by the dove as its
symbol, and the Wado International Karatedo Federation has adopted the rising sun enclosed by
the dove as its symbol.

Tatsuo Suzuki Sensei
Professor Tatsuo Suzuki was born in Yokohama in 1928 and became interested in Karate at the age
of 14 and within six years of beginning his study of Karate, Professor Suzuki was awarded his 3rd Dan
at the age of 19. In 1951 at the age of 24 he was awarded the then highest grade in Wado-Ryu, 5th Dan
for his outstanding courage and ability.
At 45 he was awarded his 8th Dan and also in the same year was given the title of Hanshi (Master)
by the International Budo Federation and was presented with a special silver cup by Higashi Kuni no
Miya, the uncle of the late Emperor of Japan.
From 1945 to 1956 he received direct instruction from the founder of Wado Ryu, Hironori Ohtsuka
Sensei at the Wado Ryu Headquarters. Thereafter, as Ohtsuka Sensei's most senior student, he travelled
with Ohtsuka Sensei both domestically and internationally performing demonstrations and teaching at
the Headquarters and in such places as Hawaii.
From 1956 to 1964 Master Suzuki founded the first Wado Federation in England and from his base in
London he spread Wado Ryu throughout Europe. Overcoming many difficulties, he brought senior
students from Japan, taught them how to be instructors and sent them to various European countries.
Within just a few years Wado Ryu became the most popular style in Europe. In 1991 Master Suzuki
took over from Ohtsuka Sensei in protecting the essence of Wado Ryu and established the Wado
International Karate-Do Federation (WIKF).
In addition to his accomplishments in Karate, Professor Suzuki is a 2nd Dan in Tenshin Koryu BoJitsu (stick fighting) and a 1st Dan in Judo. He has also studied Zen doctrine with the high priests, the
late Genpo Yamamoto and Soyen Nakagawa. Suzuki Sensei is also a member of the International Budo
Academy (IBA) as an Associate Professor and was award the title Doctor of Philosophy for his life
long work and commitment to teaching Wado Ryu Karate.
