Welcome

New Maryland Karate Club
"Karate begins and ends with courtesy"
Chito-Ryu Karate was developed from two
ancient styles of Okinawan Karate, Shorei Ryu and Shorin Ryu. The
creator of Chito-Ryu, Tsuyoshi Chitose, was a medical doctor who based
Chito-Ryu on principles of human physiology. He discovered that some
of the exercises and stances being used were detrimental to the health
of the students studying Karate. Dr. Chitose's philosophy
was also that Karate as a self-defence system should include throws
and joint immobilization techniques. Today we continue
to study and practice the art of Chito-Ryu Karate for health and self-defence.
