How has wado changed your life?
The title says it all, but to get into it a little deeper--how has wado changed your life? If it has, do you think it's more because of your teacher, the class, or the art itself. I know many people have touched on this in the three here and there, but I thought it'd be good to have a main area for ...

Re: experiences in other MA dojos
Haha so true. But I'd never go into a Chinese restaurant and yell at the cook for not making pizza because it's my preferred food. That was the point.wadoka wrote:Pizza in a Chinese restaurant? Now that is topic drift.

Re: experiences in other MA dojos
I have had a mixed bag in visiting other Dojos in my time doing Wado Ryu. I have been to two other wado ryu clubs and the people at them train hard and the instruction has been good; yet I couldn't train with them because they wanted me to get insured within their organisation to attend.

Re: Hiromasa Setamatsu
I completely understand because I thought the same thing. But this clip was supposed to represent their style of training. This tells me this is where their focus is.
