Welcome to Toudijutsu.com. This site is dedicated to the teachings of the original karate system of Okinawa called Toudi. Toudi is an art that has passed to the wayside in recent times due to the raise of tournament karate.

We believe that the primary function of the martial arts should be self defense, and not a means to win a trophy. If you are looking for old karate, you have found the right spot.

We are currently seeking karateka who would be interested in converting their school to Toudi Jutsu. For those of you who are interested in this please contact Sensei Mertz with the contact form on this page.

We are hoping to grow and expand our system beyond the handful of instructors presently working with us. So if you have a desire to learn traditional Toudi Jutsu, please check out our transition page. This is a great resource for both students and instructors wanting to change or learn Toudi Jutsu and Buki Jitsu.
