Hideo Ochi, known for his bald head and long white beard, is both a genial grandfather figure and one of JKA's finest fighters. As a three-time JKA All Japan Grand Champion, he commands respect as a charismatic instructor worldwide.
Ochi's influence extended beyond Japan. In 1970, he became the National Coach of the German Karate Federation (DKB), transforming Germany into a prominent kumite nation. Despite facing initial challenges, Ochi settled in Freiburg and established himself as the Chief Instructor for JKA Europe.
After retiring from competition, Ochi focused on promoting a more traditional approach to Karate. He founded the DJKB (Deutscher JKA-Karate Bund), attracting thousands of Karatekas seeking a return to traditional values.
Beyond Karate, Ochi engages in charitable work, supporting destitute athletes and various causes worldwide. Alongside his wife, Tomie, he financed an orphanage in Cambodia and actively contributes to education and humanitarian efforts.
Hideo Ochi is one of the best instructors to come out of Japan. Although a tough taskmaster, he is a charismatic instructor, respected around the world for the depth of his knowledge. He has also helped elevate German Shotokan Karate.
His technical skills and fighting spirit saw him crowned JKA All Japan Grand Champion, a feat only ever achieved by a few very exceptional karateka.
