Re: Small details
On top of the fine detail that oneya brings, I am forever learning something which is great, think of the usual principles of shoulders down and relaxed and maintaining a trajectory of the elbow more akin to making gyakuzuki as opposed to a big radial swing. You movement will work itself out over ti...

DVDs and so on are always a snapshot in time. We are all capable of improvement if we accept critique. His movement in some aspects have undergone a very human process. Don't be to fixated at what you see. Absorb what is on offer. Don't look at the pretty menu, order and feast from it. Oops, there I...

Re: Kata competion?
My angle when I was talking about enbu, was that it was non-competitive.
People just get up and show, then get off. No judges and the assumption is that this was a solely Wado day not an Open Competition.

Re: syllabus differences
Thanks for the reply Shep. I've been with the Wado academy for a bit now (I'm still at a basic level and knowledge) we haven't done any of these unless I'm missing something subtle?? Ohtsuka Jiro has shown an array of sanbon kumite when he has taught in the UK the last two of his trips to Europe. W...

Re: Kata competion?
Today's kata competition is well, competitive. How can you out Wado someone else to win? Talking about Wado kata in an all styles arena is even more of a lost cause, despite the postings on YouTube when a Wado team did quite well in a JKF tournament. I like the point AJ makes about nerves, about whe...

Kote Gaeshi
A question was asked in another thread about when something like kote gaeshi would come into the training timeline. For those that watch the TV programme called "QI" you will know what I mean if the bells start ringing should you answer "Kihon Kumite 5". To profer something to st...

Re: What happens when you start training in a koryu art?
I am sure it depends on the club as well. My club is really small and I have gone through the likes of idori and kote gaeshi with beginners with less than 6 months under their white belts.
There is a printed syllabus but we also work around that as well.

Re: oops..!!
Maybe slightly unfortunate but judging by some comments people have not been able to register for a long time. In Wado, in addition to all the timing models of Sen, we also have su ha ri. We now have a bit more control in what we can turn this into with archives, Wiki, photo uploads and so on. It is...
