First Wado class!
Woaw, that was quite the learning experience! Great group of people first off. Very welcoming, very down-to-earth (the Wing Chun place I did a brief stint at earlier this summer was nice but no one said "hi" to me my first class or introduced themselves until a few classes in- I felt reall...

Re: Defence against throat choke from front
Hi Majin, Oneya has already explained the difference of karate ni sente nashi and sente (roughly defence or attack mode as a basic principle). You mention some about a static opponent. Of course there is and should be a difference between kihon and jiyu gumite or a streetfight if you like. Kata is ...

Re: Defence against throat choke from front
. Wado is Japanese in principle not Okinawan, hence it is developed in attack mode not defence. It is also built around the principles inherent in movement - to develop what in known as wado movement. Osu is frowned upon in Wado ryu, Wado Kai and Wado kokusai. oneya Thanks! I won't be uttering this...

Re: Defence against throat choke from front
She did do a self defense class years back but no she doesn't practice martial arts. It was more a conversation based on classes I took that she observed. I think the biggest disservice of any club is to promote themselves as teaching viable self defense in one or two sessions. That's total baloney...

The reason I ask is that I saw a technique where you basically drive your fists into both sides of a person's ribs (which are exposed when they go for the choke) but my wife (all 5ft and 100lbs) said that someone little like her wouldn't be able to get a larger attacker off of h...

Defence against throat choke from front
