Chito-Ryu Karate For Adults

Book A Free Trial Class

Learn Karate in Ottawa

Zen Mixed Martial Arts teaches a style of karate called Chitō-Ryū in our karate classes in Ottawa.  Chitō-Ryū Karate is a style of karate founded by Tsuyoshi Chitose. The name of the style translates loosely as "1,000 year old Chinese style",  or “the 1,000 year old style originating from the Tang dynasty”.  The  style was officially founded in Japan in 1946.         


Dr. Chitose was a trained physician.  He used his medical  knowledge of anatomy and physiology to modify traditional techniques of  Chitō-Ryū to make them both more effective against opponents, as well as  less detrimental to the bodies and joints of long-term practitioners.         


Compared with other Japanese karate styles, Chito Ryu karate is more fluid, with higher and shorter stances. The style emphasizes the use of  hand techniques and kicks.  In Chito-Ryu a progression is in place where  your technical skills improve as you practice, get better, and move to more advanced kata. Typically the lower kata contains techniques that  are forceful and that use fists, while the higher kata are based on soft and flowing techniques using open hands.
