Our Mission

FOUNDING MEMBERS
Druk Shito Kai was founded in early 2024 by a group of passionate karatekas from the United States and Canada committed to mastering Dento Shito Ryu—traditional Shito Ryu Karate Do. Since 2015, they have been active in the North American karate community, collaborating with various organizations to pursue authentic Shito Ryu training. However, they saw the need for an organization that fully aligned with their vision. Guided by the principles of “SMART” (Sustainable, Motivational, Achievable, Respect, and Trust), Druk Shito Kai was created to provide a dedicated space for deepening members’ Shito Ryu practice and fostering personal growth. To support its mission and facilitate the organization of tournaments and seminars, Druk Shito Kai is officially registered in the State of Ohio, ensuring a stable foundation to serve the karate community with integrity and excellence.
