Fighting Karate

Hideyuki Ashihara was born in Hiroshima Prefecture in 1944. Since opening his first karate school in Yahatahama, a small seaside village in Ehime Prefecture, some 20 years ago, he has devoted himself to the pursuit of the most rational, logical karate techniques. The quintessence of Ashihara karate lies in its innate rationality. There are different ways to learn karate, depending on age and physical strength.
