Okinawan Karate and Kobudo Legends #17. Dr. Tsuyoshi Chitose: Chito Ryu Karate. 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 Okinawan 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. This tournament brought competitors from all over the continent; including Dr. Chitose's number one American student; William Dometrich. You will see the master perform and amazing demonstration along with his student Yamamoto Sensei. Approx. 28 minutes. RS-0623.
