Re: Alan Whicker vintage karate
Looks like Nakayama Masatoshi doing the sensei thing and Nishiyama Hidetaka sparring on the right. I wouldn't bet money on it but could be Kanazawa Hirokazu on the left. Nice find Gordon, that's a heavy duty dojo.

Re: Gary's lone wolf howlin'
Ah no worries Gary, I've been pottering along this yellow brick road for a while now but still find some of the sights a bit bizarre. I went googling for a specific date and stumbled across a pothole in the search and found a couple of guys agreeing to defy Japanese domestic logic with some ersatz b...

Re: Gary's lone wolf howlin'
. Ah yes Ben, once the money trail was identified in the early days the splintering began to such a degree that in many cases today their wado just ain’t wado. Just a generic type of shiai karate. I have heard that some Wado organisations have dropped the practice of kihon kumite altogether - beats ...

Gary's lone wolf howlin'
. Hi Gary, I am just venting here having spent a hour growing ever more despairing with the human race while reading the nonsense that is “Wado has no bunkai’ on iain Abernethy’s site of a year or two ago. What is nonsensical about it is these people commenting are not practicing Wado ryu and yet th...

Re: Arakawa Sensei
Vale: Arakawa Toru Sensei. 7th Dan Wadokai. Once again we are saddened standing here on the shoreline of wado history, watching the strength in the tides and currents of Wado fortune gradually ebb away with each passing of its iconic sensei. Arakawa Toru was such an icon and sensei. He was a fount o...

Re: Analyze this... Intent
Speaking of intent, I am cutting and pasting a post I made on my private site. I did not write the article. I wish I had because it is good. Intent is a prerequisite for internal power. Without intent you have nothing. Nothing. A lot of people misunderstand intent. They think of 'intention'. It is ...
