About Heijoshin Ryu Karate
Heijoshin-Ryu Karate (平常心流), meaning “The Way of the Calm and Steady Mind,” is a modern martial art founded on the combined principles of Wado Kai and Shorin Ryu. This unique style blends Wado Kai’s fluid movement and evasive tactics with Shorin Ryu’s powerful stances and classical kata to create a balanced, versatile system. Students learn not only practical self-defense skills but also discipline, focus, and respect—core values that extend beyond the dojo. Heijoshin-Ryu is dedicated to honoring tradition while evolving to meet the needs of today’s martial artists.
