Our Founders

Itosu-ryu karatedo stems from the lineage of Shuri-te master Sokon Matsumura(1798-1890). It was founded by Anko Itosu(1830-1915), who is popularly regarded as one of the fathers of karatedo.

Anko Itosu further developed and refined tode-jutsu, a form of self-defense, into a form of physical exercise suitable to be included in the physical education curriculum. At the same time, he changed the focus from being a means of combat to being a means of character development.
