All Wado Karate Forum

Hi Martin, Putting two and two together, Reg's comments on Kawanakajima and comments made before Suzuki sensei did Ryu Sei kata in London, about Takeda Shingen, I came up with this. It seems that sensei used a very old recording, so it is hard to compare. I might be way off with this song. In that c...

Sensei Nash,

reacting to your post, I have a question;

So if his kata is "spiced" up with Shito ryu, how would good judges grade/ give points to this.
As this is allowed, how far can you distract from the original kata.
Where is the line drawn?

Where is the like button?...

It is precisely like Michael earlier stated, for some reason he lost the connection to Wado. This happened to me too when I was on my own for about 10 years. You need a teacher or someone who is able to point out mistakes and correct them. When people don't have this, they will come up with all kind...

Hi Peter, Sorry for my late response. Some of the countries lingo I speak, some I don't. But most of the classes, as they are mostly international, are done in English. As for the last 8 years it has obvious been spoken in English, since it wsa mostly my teacher sensei Bob Nash, or his teacher Takag...

Yes, Eddie gets around, and he brings Guiness with him.... It becomes a part of you, of your lifestyle. So the commitment comes only naturally. It sounds stupid but I end up relating everything to Wado / budo. @Mike, Hi nice to see you here on the forum. How much did I see Nash sensei? As much as po...

Hi, Sorry that I didn't answer earlier. When I emigrated to Israel I just continued training on my own. I was 2nd dan KBN (Dutch Karate Federation) at the time. I searched my training and advise for techniques whenever I came to Holland with teachers and dojo that I knew. From the time that I emigra...
