Genwakai Karate

Karate-dō, the way of the empty hand, is the most powerful unarmed combat art. Karate is relatively new to Japan, introduced by Funakoshi Gichin from Okinawa, less then 100 years ago. It has since evolved gaining distinct Japanese characteristics such as deep powerful stances used in Kenjutsu (Japanese Swordsmanship).

Nippon Karate-dō Genwakai is the style of karate taught at Ohio Budōkan. Self-improvement is integral to this style of karate. Our curriculum consists of perfecting basic blocks, kicks, and strikes. Our Karate students learn to attack with total commitment, concentrating physical and spiritual energy into a single technique of overwhelming power. Eventually students will also learn to use various traditional weapons such as Bo, Bokken, and Nunchaku.

Dedicated students of Genwakai can expect to improve in many areas of life.  Through rigorous and consistent training students will develop increased focus and confidence as well as better overall physical fitness and health.
