Re: Japanese JutJitsu in Wado

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...

Re: When were the kata standardized?

Mr.Kimura, Thank you for your reply. I see what you are interested in. I often wondered about these kind of things. Ohtsuka sensei had access to so many kata. Why drop the others? Obviously he must have seen more logic in the kata we practice today or perhaps he found them more beneficial. On the ot...

Re: Ukemi

We used to do this as a part of the warming up. Over time this was abandoned for no particular reason. Even if the class lasts two hours I still feel that it is not enough. Hence, ukemi not on my priority list.

Although, my students coincidentally asked to train it again recently.

Re: Insurance claims

fist one about fees. In Holland - as you probably know Igor - when being a member of a club your membership would be extended with for example 12 months. I guess as many people lead their daily lives and these things happen automatically and sometimes unwanted, a new law was introduced and has take...

Re: Insurance claims

Our Dojo uses a subscription form which also contains a line that they do not hold our Dojo responsible for injury etc. I guess that will cover it? This is a bit more tricky. You can put whatever you want in your terms, but if it isn't according to law, you're screwed. So if the law says that you'r...
