Chito-Ryu Karate is a traditional Japanese (Okinawan) martial art comprising of strikes, kicks, blocks, throws and holds. Chito-Ryu training provides a complete regimen suitable for those seeking physical exercise, sport competition and self defense skills.

Chito-Ryu Karate was developed by the Okinawan Karate Master, Dr. Tsuyoshi Chitose (1898-1984). Dr. Chitose based his teachings on his extensive study of Okinawan Shorei Ryu and Shorin Ryu along with his medical knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Dr. Chitose combined the strengths of the Shorei Ryu and Shorin Ryu systems and eliminated the training elements that were detrimental to the health and well being of the practitioner.
