Founded in the United States in 1966 by Master Hidy Ochiai, Wa-shin Ryu Karate-Dõ offers traditional Japanese martial arts at its highest level, based on the principles of Budo (the martial way)—respect, honor, and self-development. For over 50 years, Master Ochiai has taken a holistic approach to martial arts practice that allows students to realize & harmonize their potential.
The centuries-old tradition of Japanese martial arts has its roots in two distinct disciplines: one, jutsu or jitsu, the technique of self-defense or “martial craft” (how to best defeat an enemy) and two, Dō, the “way of life,” an art and practice of cultivating a mental strength & self confidence.
Master Ochiai’s renowned training/teaching model in Wa-shin Ryu Karate-Dõ places an equal emphasis on the development of mind and body so that one truly can become master of the self. To that end, Master Ochiai's method of teaching emphasizes a self-paced training program to achieve the best results for each student.
“The strength of an individual is not measured by how much one can control others, but by how much one can control oneself.”
-Master Hidy Ochiai

"Sensei Starr instructs us in the proper way which extends the teaching inside the Dojo, to outside the Dojo with the correct code of behavior for life. At the same time my sons are building their physical strength, increasing their skill set and refining their technique."
