The Birth of Wado Ryu cont..... In 1950 he became the head of the Ryu. He also studied with Funakoshi in his newly formed karate do, known as Shotokan, so named after the house of 'Shoto' where Funakoshi first trained. Ohtsuka liked what he saw of karate but felt there was something missing, in particular, the more aggressive, attacking movements. He went to Okinawa to study with the old masters and the people who had taught Funakoshi. He replaced many of the techniques that had been removed. He then blended this with his Jujitsu and incorporated some sword techniques of Ken jutsu and Tanto Dori, knife techniques. This formed the basis of Wado Ryu, the way of peace and harmony.
