The Wadoryu Karatedo Kenkyukai is an association that was founded in order to follow the principals & teachings of Hironori Otsuka Meijin 10th Dan, the founder of Wadoryu.

All are welcome, whether you are a beginner or have practised any Martial Art before. Juniors are admitted from the age of 10 upwards.

The principals of correct Dojo etiquette and behaviour are strictly adhered to in order to develop students character and to ensure safe practise whilst training.
