All Wado Karate Forum

Nice find Shep. Need to ask though - does anyone else see something odd with the Rohai here or is that how it is done in the Renmei? http://www.youtube.com/user/rastaman0310#p/u/35/gh-RzK0wQGA Gary Hi Gary, If you are referring to the use of shiko-dachi versus naihanchi-dachi then yes, this is how ...

I'm not in quite the same situation but I am moving from Goju Ryu to Wado. Initially I wanted to migrate to Wing Chun and while I found it interesting, I missed the feel of karate. I left the last school as it became abundantly clear that they were more interested in promotion and merchandising tha...

I've heard a few slip there as well as before the dreaded 43rd move.

On a side note, no kiais listed in the shitei kata bible for Wado, eh?

Does that officially make Wado the redheaded stepchild of WKF karate?

Hi wadoka, In the spirit of Easter and the depths of an akvavit filled Saturday afternoon I figured I would throw my 2 cents (pents) in (although worth considerably less). In regards to kushanku, we always trained first kiai after the migi yonhan nukite chudan and the second after the tobi geri and ...
