Hi, hope you don't mind me chipping in, but my thought is that Wado Ryu has always sailed under the 'Karate-Do' flag of convenience. It is neither fish nor fowl.T.

Neither fish nor fowl but much more than either combined has the makings of a banquet for the chef de cuisine Tim

Except that this label also argues a 'finite' position in the same way the 'karate' label does TK.T. Kimura wrote:A fine feathered fish !!!!
Whereas "much more than either combined has the makings of a banquet for the chef de cuisine " speaks more for the practitioner's 'infinite potential', a concept that I feel engenders release from a fixed mind.

You must remember this
A fish is still a fish
A sigh is still (just) a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

Ah the sweet languor of Sinatra’s trilling syrup which is, much like his hair line, potentially entirely illusory.
It is a simple choice: Wado or doo bee doo bee doo.

Re: Been practicing Rohai of late...
I was recently at a course with Shiomitsu sensei and one point he made which really stuck in mind was that Wado is 90% jujitsu, if not more. The katas we have may be okinawan in origin but the way we perform them is to practice budo movement. At least that was my understanding ot it.
