The purpose of this page is to give honor, respect, and recognition to the founder and many of his elite students who have shared Wado with the world, and as a result of that, to our schools. All information gathered is intended to be as accurate as possible, with the hopes of sharing a small portion of history of these honored men. Even though different divisions and organizations exist, with various leaders who may or may not acknowledge or agree with each other, our hope is to give a broad view of the people who have contributed the most to the 'Way of Peace'.
Biographies of other influential martial artists (e.g., Itosu, Funakoshi, Motobu, Mabuni, Miagi, Demura) can be found at http://www.lawrencetown.com/masters.htm.
