Re: Curiouser & curiouser.

I am not sure I am qualified enough to make comment on this 'Official Black Belt Test'..

Wado math equation is more:

Re: I am a fighter. I don’t do kata.

Re: I am a fighter. I don’t do kata.

Lost my Internet for a bit there. So, lets see. There seem to be three points here I need to pick up on: 1 - kata is about more than fighting. I agree. But, it is also about fighting. It is a blueprint, a text book, a list of ingredients all in a few practical packages. Isn't it? 2 - Wado doesn't ma...
