The Chito-ryu style

Universitetets karateklubb (UKK) trains the traditional karate style Chito-ryu. Chito-ryu trains a broad range of techniques for effective self-defence, physical development, and strengthening of mental concentration and endurance.

With us you’ll learn how traditional karate is built up, with basic techniques (kihon-waza), patterns (kata), sparring (kumite), throws and takedowns (nage-waza), holding and control techniques, release techniques, and the use of traditional weapons (kobudo). You’ll learn to stand, move, and strike/kick correctly.

This makes karate a great foundation for self-defence. It’s also excellent physical training, developing strength, explosiveness, speed, endurance, flexibility, and overall body control. It also helps with concentration, focus, and mental endurance, which can come in handy during a stressful student life.
