Martial Arts: Yoseikan
Yoseikan is a relatively new style of karate, founded by Hiroo Mochizuki. Hiroo
was more than qualified to form a new style, as he trained under his father
Minoru Mochizuki, one of the great martial arts masters of the time.
Hiroo also obtained Dan grades in several other martial arts including Wado Ryu, Aikido,
Jujutsu, Iaido and Judo. Hiroo was then able to blend together components of
all these martial arts to form what is now Yoseikan.
Origin of Yoseikan: Japan
Founder of Yoseikan: Hiroo Mochizuki 1960's
