What is Chito Ryu Karate?

Chito-Ryu is one of the oldest styles of Karate in Canada. Its founder was a physician and optimized its training methods to provide safe physical conditioning while maintaining maximal effectiveness. Like most other Karate styles there is an emphasis on character development by focusing on good manners, self-discipline, physical fitness as well as self-defense.
