The Founder:
	The Founding Grand Master, Otsuka Hironori (1892 - 1982) was the developer & founder of the Wado Karate Martial art in 1939. Wado was derived from his long tireless lifetime dedication with in-depth researches, blending his karate knowledge in Jujutsu - close-combating (grappling), Tai-Sabaki (Body Movement) and Shotokan.
The unique combinations of Wado-Ryu to others in training, is the emphasis of the fluent uses of Tai-Sabaki to countering all attacks. For more details information, please refer to the Home page of "Japan Karatedo Federation Wado-Kai" and www.jkachicago.com/wadoryu.htm

The Link to Brunei Darussalam:

In the early 1960s, Otsuka dispatched a small number of his top students to spread the art of Wado-Ryu throughout the world, including Brunei Darussalam.

In 1972, Otsuka with his son, Jiro, visited Brunei and met Shihan Hj. Malai as seen in the historical picture on the right, when the latter honourably received his 1st Dan (Shodan) Black Belt from the Grand Wado Founder.
