Hi All. I haven't been by in a while- new job and more training keep me busy these days! I'm just wondering how much of Ohstuka's Shindo Yoshin Ryu has been retained in Wado Ryu. I'm in the middle kyu area and have noticed higher ranks doing more locks and grappling amidst atemi. At the more format...

just in case anyone thinks that acer is privy to information that no one else is. Are you crazy or something?Who said that’s my private letter from Suzuki sensei or whatever?????? or a reason for the post. I thought it will be interesting for the forum to see the last open letter from one of the gr...

Maybe it should go straight into the Archive section. I certainly don't see any productive or enlightening debate drawn out of the content of the letter. Would probably cause too much friction along partisan lines. Though on this forum that's probably unlikely as most of us are grown up enough to re...
