[trx_sc_title title_style=”default” title_align=”default” title=”The Style” subtitle=”Welcome” description=”” scheme=”inherit” id=”” class=”” css=””]

The style of Martial Arts taught at The Australian Institute of Karate is Chito-Ryu Karate-Do. With deep roots in Karate’s long history Chito-Ryu was founded by the late Dr Chitose and continued by his son, the current Head of Style. Dr Chitose was recognised, by the All Okinawa Union of Karate-do and Kobu-do, as a Master of the Art and awarded the title of Hanshi (the highest acknowledgement available) in 1968.

WARNING - WE’RE NOT ALL THE SAME

The Martial Arts Industry is an unregulated industry. What that means to the consumer is; anyone at all, no matter how qualified or unqualified, can open a Martial Arts centre and teach whatever they consider to be Martial Arts. Unfortunately, there are umbrella organisations that are happy to recognise and affiliate a certain teacher or Dojo if the fees are paid.
