Zenshinshite jodan, renzuki Chudan

[Ichiro]

Konnichiwa watashi no tomodachi.

Hello, my fellow Karateka.

This is my first post on a forum so please be gentle. :-)

I have been studying Wado Ryu on and off for the past few years and wanted to get back into it as I missed the training. Also I found my old syllabus.

I remember everything except for 'Zenshinshite jodan, Renzuki chudan.' Now I have tried searching the website for keywords and another forum, Google etc but I can't find an exact explaination.

If my memory serves me correctly, in my old club we used to have, 'Left Fighting Stance, then, left tobikomizuki jodan with (sliding forward in same stance), then basically a gyakuzuki chudan.'

However, from reading on the web, some say what I remember and others say, 'Left fighting stance, step back leg forward into Right Fighting Stance and tobikomizuki with right followed with a gyakuzuki chudan.'

I am lost, please could someone explain to me the correct way to conduct these during renraku waza?

Hi Ichiro,
Welcome to the forum.We used to do these combinations some years ago as part of the grading syllabus, step forward as in ayumi ashi, the one you remember is okuri ashi (sliding forward and punching with the leading arm).
We did that also.

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer. However, I an still lost. Which way is it? Are you saying that zenshinshite is ayumi ashi and that I should step back leg to front then do tobikomi jodan, gyakuzuki chudan?

Ohyo gumite ipponme makes perfect sense! Thank you all for your replies. Much appreciated.

Ichiro as in Suzuki? You a Mariner's fan?

Hi Ichiro, can I ask where you train?

Reason is ohyo kumite is not set in stone neither is renrakuwaza so - unless your current sensei has a preference - you might want to consider both ayumi ashi and okuri ashi ways equally for more balanced training.

Oneya-san,

I will keep in mind ayumi ashi and okuri ashi. Train both for speed, technique and power.
