Shudokan Karate
   Shudokan Karate-do is a form of traditional Okinawan karate that was formalized by Kanken Toyama in the late 19th century.  It is a  fighting style that equally emphasizes punching and kicking.  Designed to conquer Japanese Samurai these weaponless fighting techniques have proven themselves against superiorly armed opponents.  Shudokan karate-do today has evolved to include techniques of Aikido falling and rolling, Jujitsu joint locks, Judo throws, basic Judo grappling skills, modern teaching methods and leadership skills.  This yields a comprehensive fighting style that well equips the 21st century warrior and provides impetus for training the modern mind.
