It's amazing how you can see every little detail in his movements. At some points though, it looks like he's rocking in between movements. But I think it may just be the release of the kime that makes it appear that way. Hi Karateman7 I'm not sure what you mean by 'rocking in' but I can guess what ...

i remember that clearly Gary. It was just before my sensei passed away in August 2008.

what you are referring to is often called "sankaku" meaning triangle. I always talk about a barchair with 3 'legs'. I wonder why I always tend to talk about a bar.. I must have been watching too much Bas Rutten selfdefense videos.. anyway, sankaku is also used for some shime waza. I think...

I didn't realise The Academy didnt practice them, never even thought about it. I assumed from the first post they did. But anyway they are good as an inroduction to Wado movement. shep Hi Shep, I think that it has been discussed on the old AKF that like ohyo gumite, sanbon gumite was born from the ...

Thanks for the reply Shep. I've been with the Wado academy for a bit now (I'm still at a basic level and knowledge) we haven't done any of these unless I'm missing something subtle?? Hi Jacob, I'm not in Wado Academy, but this is part of the Wadoryu Renmei of Ohtsuka Jiro sensei. I have several DVD...

Hi all! I am new to this forum, used to read the old one. I guess I will discuss competion Karate most of the time. My first opinion, - Kata-competition is a waste of time - like competing in music, wihch is better, Mozart or AC/DC? KarateREF Excellent theme. Generally I would say that Wado practit...
