All Wado Karate Forum

Hi Gusei21, I have noticed this difficulty you mentioned and as I said, I don't see any point either for writing about the quality of their stuff on wikipedia. On this thread my POV has been completely on the mechanism of wikipedia. Not Shintani nor anything else. So to answer your question, I don't...

Hi oneya, Yes, and as you can see, I already mentioned the text the official webpage for Wadokai has. I agree that there is very limited resemblance to Wado in what they do, judging by videos. Unfortunately however this should be found in some good source(s) taken up by some or many well-known autho...

Perhaps the page could be improved by some of the people here with knowledge of good quality sources and also info about the Shintani group?

It has had it's gains, but then I too feel the immobile stance is a problem. I think some of the gains ca...

Hi all, Since this is becoming very general stuff about kuzushi - at least now - I copied from the KK8-thread and continue here.. @gusei21, like your mentioning of the resetbutton. This often occurs when one tries to apply kuzushi with too much enthousiasm. Turning the table looking at the role of u...

Hi shep,

Got it! I also remember the writing about that "improved" naihanchidachi, so no worries.

Hi, Shep, Could you please point out what you mean in the KK8-thread? (There of course...) Oneya, I totally agree. Of course I don't know what the guys are up to actually, so this is just very general theoreticising. If they claim it's an improvement, they are on thin ice. But if they instead say &q...
