I am a student of Traditional Wado Ryu Karate Jitsu. Starting my journey back in the mists of time at the Professor Tatsuo School of Karate at Cromer Street Kings Cross London UK in January 1967. Hanshi Tatsuo Suzuki was my main Sensei for 32 years. I have been fortunate to have received instruction from many Japanese Sensei and even participated in a 4 day course in 1970 led by the founder of Wado Ryu Karate Jitsu Meijin Hironori Ohtsuka. Karate has become a large part of my life and my studies have been primarily driven by my spiritual need for understanding the purpose of being. Karate Do being my chosen vehicle as opposed to spending a lifetime in meditation.

Welcome, SteveiV. I am of the same mind as you about making karate a large part of my life and filling the spiritual needs.
