What is Muidokan?
Founded by researcher and bunkai expert Samir Berardo, Muidokan Karate Kenkyukai is a society of people passionate about karate, with the purpose of researching, practicing, preserving and promoting this art in its original form (ie non-sport, competitive or merely aesthetic, but instead as a complete system of training and fighting for the preservation of the lives of the practitioners and of those under their protection). Muidokan Karate Kenkyukai welcomes all interested and curious people to follow our projects and publications, and invites everyone to attend and participate in our classes and seminars – and be part of the phenomenon of the revival of original Okinawan karate.
