All Wado Karate Forum

Hello wadoka, Glad you mentioned the opening of naihanchi and kushanku, but that is another thread. I agree that it would be good to start a new topic if the discussion went too much to this direction, but Gusei21 kept it in relation to KK8 and I think this kind of linking is only healthy. Perhaps y...

Of course there is nothing wrong with any of this as long as they don't claim to have "improved Wado" or even better admit that they simply discarded it. People find different paths and some get tired of learning a system so they create one of their own. It can be a very fruitful project a...

I believe in Renmei very often a method of unbalancing from the outside while controlling with the knee from the inside is used. In Wadokai I believe very often a method of slightly lifting the opponents forearm with the elbow while maintaining a straight back and then putting slight pressure with t...

Hello,
I agree with Andy and have thought about writing a PM to wadoka about this, even though it's a small thing.

Hi AJ, At first I wasn't sure what it was about in this thread, from reading just the first posting. Not too sure now either, after repeating what has been written. In the case that we all might be talking about different things or from a different point of view, I thought it would be a good thing t...

Hi Tim, Even though I partially share your opinion about the difficulties of analysation, I think as just an approach it still can have value. The problem is when people start analysing the wrong things or do some mistakes in their analysis. Then they push themselves more to the direction of not get...
