History

The History of Wado-Ryu in Brunei

The Grand Master, Otsuka Hironori was the developer & founder of the Wado Karate Martial art in 1939. Wado was derived from his long tireless lifetime dedication with in-depth researches, blending his karate knowledge in Jujutsu - close-combating (grappling), Tai-Sabaki (Body Movement) and Shotokan. The unique combinations of Wado-Ryu to others in training, is the emphasis of the fluent uses of Tai-Sabaki to countering all attacks.

In the early 1960s, Otsuka dispatched a small number of his top students to spread the art of Wado-Ryu throughout the world, including Brunei Darussalam. He and his son, Jiro, visited Brunei in 1972 and presented the 1st Dan Black Belt to Shihan Hj Malai Mohammed bin Hj Malai Othman (the current President of Wadokai Karatedo Brunei Darussalam) the same year.
