Danish Wadokai

Wado was introduced in Denmark in January 1977.
On September 8, 1979 a founding general meeting for the organization Wadokai Denmark Karate-do was held.
In 1999 the organization became a JKF Wadokai branch named Danish Wadokai Karatedo.
Today, 4 clubs are organized under the Danish Wadokai Karatedo in Denmark.

History

According to Donn F. Draeger, the founder of Wado-kai, Hironori Otsuka (born June 1, 1892 in the Shimodate village – died January 29, 1982 in Tokyo) began training Jujutsu with his uncle Chojiro Ebashi-sensei in 1898. As 13-year-old (1905), Otsuka began training Shindo-Yoshin-Ryu Jujutsu in Genbukan Dojo in the Shimotsuma village at Tatsusaburo Nakayama-sensei.

In 1910-1912, Otsuka studied at Waseda University.
