Dr. Chitose Chito Ryu

Dr. Tsuyoshi Chitose is not exactly a well known master of karate as he passed away in 1984 but he was the Grandson of Bushi Soken Matsumura and that alone makes him a VIP in Okianwan history. But what he is really well known for is his creation of Chito Ryu Karate which came from both Shuri Te and Naha Te. This DVD was shot in the 1960’s in Canada where his student at the time Masami Tsuruoka held the first tournament in North America bringing in competitors from all over the contionent including Dr. Chitose’s number one American student William Dometrich.
