Chito Ryu in Moose Jaw

In 1980, Chito Ryu Karate was introduced to Moose Jaw through Sensei Delmer Daignault. He opened the Moose Jaw Karate Club, a non-profit organization and commenced offering instruction in the traditional style of Chito Ryu karate. In 1999, Sensei Daignault turned over operations of the club to a senior Black belt instructor who has since relocated the club to Regina.

In February 2009, Colin and Nancy Rosnes opened Five Hills Chito Ryu Karate Club with the same spirit as the original club. Five Hills Chito Ryu Karate Club is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to furthering the art of Chito Ryu Karate in Moose Jaw. The club is open to all members of the community who want to train in the Chito Ryu style of karate. 

Five Hills Chito Ryu Karate club is a member of the Canadian Chito-Ryu Karate-do Associaion under the direction of Sensei Shane Higashi, 10th dan.

Our club training and gradings are under the guidance of Sensei Harvey Hiob, senior instructor of Edmonton Yoseikan Karate. Hiob Sensei is Rokudan (6th degree black belt) with Renshi certification.(Expert International Master Instructor Certification).
