WELCOME TO THE Alfond Youth Center
Hensen Ryu (Way of Change) is the style of karate taught at the CLUB NAHA dojo. It was founded in New York in 1986 by Shihan Ken Walsh. A Sixth Degree Black Belt in Wonhwa Do, Shihan Walsh combined his knowledge of Wonhwa Do and Shodokan to form the diverse art of Hensen Ryu. Several years later, Shihan Walsh moved to Waterville, Maine to become the director of the Waterville Area Boy’s and Girl’s Club. He brought his martial arts experience with him and established the first Waterville CLUB NAHA (named after Renshi Javier Diaz Piscil's dojo in Mexico) in 1992. During this beginning period, Hensen Ryu was primarily a Wonwha Do based dojo with slight influences from Shudokan and other styles such as Vee Arnis Jujitsu, Isshin Ryu, and Ngo Chu Kun. During the summer of 2000, Shihan Ken’s Shodokan instructor, Renshi Javier Diaz Piscil, visited the Waterville, CLUB NAHA Dojo to teach the Hensen Ryu students the Okinawan karate style of Shudokan. Throughout Renshi Javier's two-year stay, Hensen Ryu began to evolve as it slowly incorporated the art of Shodokan Karate. Today’s Hensen Ryu has an equal balance of Shudokan and Wonhwa Do, making it a diverse, well-rounded martial art.
Here at CLUB NAHA, our goal is to inspire and enable our students through karate training to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring individuals. CLUB NAHA Karate-Do will help strengthen their spirit, mind, and body, by providing a positive karate dojo for kids by focusing on caring, confidence, honesty, leadership, respect, and responsibility.
