Like most other karate styles, there is an emphasis on character development by focusing on good manners, self-discipline, physical fitness as well as self-defense. Instruction at all Canadian Chito-Ryu Karate Association clubs is given by experienced Black Belt instructors.

The CCRKA is the national association of Chito-Ryu Karate-Do in Canada and is committed to understanding and propagating the karate-do of its founder O'Sensei Dr. Tsuyoshi Chitose.

We who study karate-doh,
Must never forget the spirit of the warriors way.
With peace, perseverance and hard work,
We will reach our goal.
