Re: hakama ? now with the video...
[ Interesting vid indeed! I think the trouser legs are tied - perhaps to prevent tripping? . Most pictures or films of Otsuka, if he is wearing hakama he tucks the sides in under the hakama belt, it allows free movement. If you look back to Karatedo Taikan it is shown this way and explained in the ...

Re: hakama ? now with the video...
Did Otsuka meijin ever wear hakama ? Not that this has any relevance ......just curious. Certainly for demonstrations he did. Take a look at this excellent footage which some Italian karateka have been good enough to post up on their website: http://www.abckarate.it/spip.php?rubrique28 regards Ben

Re: Changes in kata
Ben: of course you are entitled to express your opinion, but offering advice to WIKF ("I would suggest a serious alternative for the Wado kokusai to consider...") is presumptuous on your part, wouldn't you think? Best, Hi Arturo I don't see it as presumptious. This board is intended as a ...

Re: Changes in kata
I would suggest a serious alternative for the Wado kokusai to consider must be the option to actually rejoin Wadokai. Some dojo have tried that individually - without success yet as it happens - but for the long term benefit of Wado I would see the group rejoining as a positive. How the integration...

Re: Reading list!
Shingo Ohgami's books are highly recommended and have probably never been bettered when it comes to setting out the theory. A more recent publication which I would certainly recommend is this one by Roberto Danubio: http://www.wado-ryu-book.com/wadoryu-karatebook.php If you are a book worm, then col...

Re: Kihon kumite on the opposite side
[ FWIW he said that these weren't "typically" practiced on both sides - although there is no harm to. Just thought I'd share. Gary Its probably the best way to look at it too. Some aspects of kihon gumite we should really be able to do on either side of our body, other parts, maybe it's n...

Re: Suparenpei
Not sure if it was mentioned in the link thread posted above, but in 'Wado World' magazine, there was a report of a dojo opening ceremony in which Shiomitsu and Kazutaka Otsuka made a demonstration. There is a photo of Shiomitsu and it says he performed suparinpei kata. No details were provided abou...
