All Wado Karate Forum

Acer, in our club we also practice stuff from outside the syllabus. And nearly every time when doing so we try to apply the principles learned from wado kihon, kata and kumite.

Ah, so maybe you are not so much a chief as an plain ol' Indian after all, Are those restrictions to keep you in - or to keep the undesirables out..? I'm thinking more what Gusei has posted in another topic: Shoji and I are friends but we can't be seen training together for obvious reasons... We ha...

I'm kind of imagining or hoping that everyone from the 3 groups could practice with each other with complete freedom. You'll find that many members of this forum already do exactly that.

So, if you'd like to meet the strange but friendly Finnish people of North Karelia and enjoy the high level of Wado teaching by Sensei Ohgami then this is your...

Go back to the heading of Article 7. ... I'm sorry, I have this annoying habit of speaking (or writing and clicking ...

Some people carry membership in all 3 organizations. Doug Jepperson is a member of Wadoryu, Wadokai and the WIKF. So this is not "illegal"? I read from the JKF Wado Kai website from the Overseas Regulations "7.1.3 No concurrent membership in any other style association or involvement...
