Welcome to my personal website. Abundance and diversity of movement, creativity, charm, techniques and tactics can be found in most sports, but what makes karate prominent and conspicuous among the other sports is technical and artistic richness of its culture, that is to say, this characteristic stems from deep, genuine and dynamic culture of Ryukyu Islands and the main land Japan.

Bushido, Dojo, Dachi, Kihon, Kata, Bunkai, Kumite, Sensei, ... a superabundance of the technical terms, idioms and expressions, variety of information and experiments in Karate makes apprentices look for references in order for their needs to be satisfied.

Owing to this fact, it took the efforts to create this website. By presenting the information gradually to the enthusiastic individuals I have not only tried to obviate their needs but also by virtually introducing the Pioneers and Masters of this art as well as characteristics and specialized techniques description of Shitoryu Karate, I want to have a small contribution in education and popularization of this pervasive soul and body of the art of karate.

With the encouragement and confirmation of my dear brother “Sensei Ahad Tanzadeh”, this website is now in front of you. His Plenteous love and passion for this art and his unsparing efforts is uncovered for lovers of this art and like the bygone years with the support of his instructions, I will try my best to help karate community around the world as well as my country.

Finally, together with the wish of luck, victory and pride for growing Karate Internationally and globally, I would like to conclude with a precious statement of Sensei Ahad Tanzadeh: “Knowledge is power, but applying knowledge is real power.” I wish you all success. Be serious and diligent in your practices.
