Hi All. I haven't been by in a while- new job and more training keep me busy these days! I'm just wondering how much of Ohstuka's Shindo Yoshin Ryu has been retained in Wado Ryu. I'm in the middle kyu area and have noticed higher ranks doing more locks and grappling amidst atemi. At the more formative belts, we are concentrating on more atemi and karate basics (which is fine BTW). This is a question for the advanced karateka on here as it looks like the higher up one goes, the more blending of both disciplines Wado becomes (karate and JJ).

Am I incorrect in this assumption?

Hi majin29,

Apologies in advance if you have read this before (or it has been already mentioned in this thread), but often, when “Jujutsu”and Wado are used in the same breath, there are a number of misconceptions that accompany it.

Tim has a good essay on this so I hope he doesn’t mind me splashing it here:

Terrific read, thanks Gary. It really cements things for me.

I only posted the link.

It's Tim's handy work.

Damn good idea Laurie..

Do you tour the wado section of the 'All Karate' site too.? There must be a few years of serious information there also.. and the usual dream-time foolishness.

Hi Oneya,
I do indeed tour the wado section of All Karate and will endeavour to include this too. Hopefully I can free up a decent chunk of time sometime soon to determine a format that is both easy to follow when being read but also relatively painless to copy across from the different forums into the document. Regarding the "dream-time foolishness" - thankfully the supposed anonymity of the AK forums will let me compile this section without too much guilt at shining the spotlight on some of the more amusing posts from there :).

It should make good bedtime reading..

Hi,
Is anyone able to access the old all-karate forum? I've been unsuccessful for the past week or so.

Best,
Laurie

It looks like the owner has conceded defeat and closed the site Down Laurie, shame that.

The same guy (Terry Lion) also can be contacted via email and I will forward this address via your PM..
