NB Chito-Ryu The NBCRA is the governing body for Chito-Ryu Karate-do in New Brunswick and a member of the National Association of Chito-Ryu Karate-do in Canada.

The NBCRA is the governing body for Chito-Ryu Karate-do in New Brunswick and a member of the National Association of Chito-Ryu Karate-do in Canada which is committed to understanding and propagating the karate-do of its founder O'Sensei Dr. Tsuyoshi Chitose. Chito-Ryu Philosophy

Chito-Ryu Karate was developed from two ancient styles of Okinawan Karate, Shorei Ryu and Shorin Ryu. The creator of Chito-Ryu Tsuyoshi Chitose was a medical doctor who based Chito-Ryu on principles of human physiology. He discovered that some of the exercises and stances being used were detrimental to the health of the students studying Karate. Dr. Chitose's philosophy was also that Karate, as a self-defence system, should include throws and joint immobilization techniques. Today we continue to study and practice the art of Chito-Ryu Karate for health and self-defence.

All are welcome.

Hilary Pond and Randy Rix at the WKF Series A in Salzburg, Austria!

Hilary was New Brunswick’s only athlete, competing in a category of 96 athletes from around the world. While she didn’t get the win today, she’s taking the experience forward to her next event.

Randy supported Canadian athletes throughout the weekend as a Karate Canada coach.

Well done to both for representing New Brunswick!

How fortunate are we to have the caliber of coaches we have across New Brunswick and right here in our own dojos?

Behind every student who steps onto the competition floor and every athlete who stands on the podium is a coach who helped guide them there.

Their commitment goes far beyond competition day. It’s the countless hours of teaching, encouraging, challenging, supporting and inspiring our athletes to be their best, both in and out of the dojo.

To all of our coaches, thank you for the time, effort, energy and passion you give to your students and to our sport.

Make sure you take a moment to thank your coach!

πŸ… National Coaches Week | September 14–20

This week, Karate New Brunswick recognizes the coaches who give their time, knowledge and energy to support athletes across our province.

From introducing athletes to the sport to helping them develop, compete, and reach new levels, coaches play an important role in karate at every stage.

Thank you to all of the coaches across New Brunswick for the time you spend in the dojo, at competitions and behind the scenes supporting your athletes and helping our karate community grow. πŸ₯‹
