Wado-Ryu (Way of Peace and Harmony) was founded by the late Grand Master Hironori Ohtsuka 'Meijin'. Who for many years studied the finer points of Ju-Jitsu and combined them with Okinawan Karate. Wado-Ryu is a fast fluid style which emphasises body movements in evasion. Maximum effect from the least use of power is a major element in Wado, no energy is wasted. The aim of Wado-Ryu Karate is not merely perfection of the physical techniques of self defence but the development of a mind able to react intuitively to any situation. The student is expected to develop inner strength and calmness of character as well as the vertues of self control, respect for others and true humility.

Movement and thought should be in accordance with natures laws. Wado-Ryu is based on three principles.

1) Correct Movement = Wa No Ken, or Harmonized Skill

2) Correct Attitude = Wa No Kokorro, or Harmonized Mind

3) Way of Correct Technique = Wa No Michi, or Way of Harmony

Therefore Way of Peace and Harmony.
