What is Chito-Ryu?

Chito - Ryu

Karate was created by

Dr. Tsuyoshi Chitose.

The style he developed

was created with

efficiency and continued

practice in mind. In the

earlier years, karate

training caused damage

to the body. Dr. Chitose

wanted to create a style

and means of practice

that would not pose

harmful effects on the

body. Dr. Chitose stated

that Chito-Ryu is based

on the understanding

of anatomy and

physiology.
