Hello, my name is Jim Pizii. My current rank is 6th degree Black Belt (Rokudan). I teach Okinawa Shorinji-Ryu Toude at the Zentokukai Of Chester County Karate School in West Chester, PA. Even though I have been through several organizational changes in the past 41 years, my commitment to teach Shorinji-Ryu Toude has always been there. Please read through this web site and feel free to contact me through e-mail, phone, or stopping by the School (Dojo).
Our school offers excellent Martial Arts training for both young and old.
Our style, Shorinji-Ryu Toude is rich with tradition and knowledge.
Those who join our school will develop true self defense skills along with a solid foundation in Martial Arts.
We will develop you beyond the typical skills of Martial Arts such as punching, kicking, blocking, etc.
You will understand your own initial limitations and move beyond that.
You will maximize your natural self defense abilities to the highest degree and exceed beyond that.
You will be satisfied with your progress within a relatively short period of time.
You will develop a passion to excel which will carry into other areas outside of Karate-Do.
My Mission at the Zentokukai of Chester County Karate-Do SchooL:To promote and preserve the teachings and traditions passed on to me by Okinawa Masters in the art of Shorin-ryu, and especially to Kyan Chotoku and Shimabukuro Zenryo of the past.
