What is Traditional Karate? 

Karate = Empty hand, hand without weapon, Traditional = Art that maintains and follows the spirit and principles of Japanese Budo.  

Traditional Karate is based on a use of the body as a single unit (proper synchronization between breathing, muscles and body dynamics) in the correct and most efficient way, rather than on use of physical strength or/and athletic capabilities.

In Traditional Karate the “Todome Waza” refers to the eternal search and constant strive for the perfect form that will incorporate an effective technique, strategy, and perfect timing.

It means that Traditional Karate allows every practitioner that can execute a good technique in a perfect timing to overcome any opponent regardless of the weight and height differences.

The search for the true Todome Waza is endless.
