WASHIN-RYU KARATE-DO

 
Hidy Ochiai’s Washin-ryu Karate offers traditional Japanese martial arts at its highest level, founded on the principles of Budo (the martial way) — respect, honor,and self-development. For more than 45 years, Master Ochiai has taken a holistic approach  to martial arts practice, that guides students to realize their potential. Essential to the mental and physical training in Washin-ryu is the comprehensive practice of self-defense, which is  found in traditional Japanese martial arts training. Master Ochiai’s renowned training/teaching model in Washin-ryu Karate-Do places an equal emphasis on the development of mind and body, allowing students to strive for greater levels of self-mastery.  To that end, Master Ochiai emphasizes a self-paced training program to achieve the best results for each student. In our classes, students practice kata (form), pre-arranged situational self-defense techniques, sport-sparring, and strength and flexibility/strength drills, immersing themselves in the full range of the traditional martials arts training. We welcome students of all ages (4 and up) and all abilities to begin training and discovering the personal rewards that traditional martial arts can bring to their lives.
