Re: Wado, budo, self-defence.... What's it all about?

What syllabus is this Acer.? We have the three main organisations represented here and I have seen a syllabus from each of them over the years - We also have a number of members who do not belong to any of these three organisations for whatever reasons - and I can't remember these low kicks as bein...

Re: Wado, budo, self-defence.... What's it all about?

But who says "Sprawl isn’t Wado. Low kicks with the shin isn’t either" The syllabus!!!!That’s why I scream all this days to open our syllabus with adding few drills with those techniques! We use it anyhow why not be official Wado? As far as I am concerned everything that is presented in a...

Re: Wado, budo, self-defence.... What's it all about?

It has occurred to me that you can always teach self defense and the answers to your own concerns to your own students Acer without having it down in the black and white of the syllabus, why not just do it.? It will be honest for the student that?They here to learn and train in Wado not something e...

Re: Wado, budo, self-defence.... What's it all about?

Some people focus more on philosophy and less to train on realistic scenarios others focus first in the fighting aspect of the art that will guide to the ''philosophy'' later...Its an art but it’s a martial art a not tae-bo after all...

Re: Wado, budo, self-defence.... What's it all about?

I’m sure I am reading this wrong Acer but you sound to me like you are living in a perpetual state of fear, now it’s burglars in the house. Man, I would just find the biggest heaviest (or sharpest) thing in the house and hit them with, or I could just set my wife on them. But…but, in the UK when th...

Re: Hiromasa Setamatsu

think that the more 'self defence' you learn and 'drills' you train in can be very restrictive in your mind and can therefore restrict your self defence. Thats why principles are are far more important as they are totally unrestrictive and a natural way to learn how to defend yourself. I've always ...

Re: Hiromasa Setamatsu

If you mean self-defense, you can quickly learn, aikido and karate and other martial arts are not for your. Your need boxing or muai thai. No I don’t agree with that.I really like Wado why not apply in self defense just like the other styles? For the record...if you speak to a lot of the old farts ...
