PTBO Wado Kai Karate

PTBO Wado Kai Karate We are a family oriented traditional karate organization focusing on Sensei Masaru Shintani's teachings and values of kindness and humility.

Wado Kai Karate is a Japanese Karate style founded in 1939 by Hironori Otsuka. It is an amalgamation of Funakoshi's Shotokan Karate, jujutsu and kempo. Wado Kai, means the ‘Way of Peace & Harmony”. It is one of the four major styles of Karate in Japan and remains one of the purest form of Karate-do. Similar to most other Karate styles, Wado Kai includes

1. Basic techniques (waza), which include p

unching, kicking, blocking, open and closed hand strikes, and study of grappling and joint-twisting maneuvers.


2. Kata (sequences of techniques done against imagined attackers).


3. Kumite (prearranged and free-style sparring) are equally emphasized training foundations. Equally fundamental to Wado is taisabaki, bodyshifting to avoid the full brunt of an attack, this technique was derived from Japanese swordsmanship. There are many other facets to Wado Kai Karate that make it a unique and valuable interpretation of Karate-do. In Wado Kai Karate, as skill and knowledge are acquired through training and concentrated effort, the student is expected to develop inner strength and calmness of character, in addition to the virtues of self-control, respect for others, and humility. "Violent action may be understood as the way of martial arts, but the true meaning of martial arts is to seek and attain the way of peace and harmony" - Sensei Otsuka

Jorge is Going to Nationals! Let’s Help Him Get There!
Exciting news, everyone! Our very own Jorge from the Peterborough Karate Club has punched, kicked, and kicked some more his way to qualifying for the 2025 Karate National Championships in beautiful British Columbia!

Not only is Jorge a key member of our Shintani National Team, but he’s also proudly representing Ontario as a member of the Provincial Team! How awesome is that?

To help with the expenses of this incredible journey, we’re hosting a fundraiser. Join us on Thursday, 20 March at the Mark Street United Church (90 Hunter Street East, Peterborough) for an evening of kumite drills (that’s karate speak for sparring practice, in case you didn’t know) and a pizza party!

Come out and show Jorge some support as he takes the next step toward the Nationals. Let’s give him a big boost before he competes against some of the top karatekas in the country!
And, speaking of the Nationals... here’s the lowdown:

The event will be held in the spectacular Richmond Olympic Oval in April 2025 – the first time in nearly a decade that British Columbia has hosted the Nationals. It’s the biggest event on the Canadian karate competition calendar, attracting over 600 of the best ka- ratekas from across the country. With four days of fierce kata and kumite action, it’s going to be a show- stopper!

So, come out, cheer loud, and help Jorge make his dream of competing at the Nationals a reality. We can’t wait to see you there!

A few students levelled up tonight to their next rank. Well earned and congratulations.
