This is what happens when I work too many long hours in a row and I don't write down well thought out responses. First of all I have no business trying to...
Hello, My Friends... Thank you very much for all those explanations... I understand that the right stance is that is natural for my body... My Sensei, Jose...
Hi All, Just wondering... Did anyone reply to this request for comment on the kata? Possibly through a PM? I know I shouldn't but I'm feeling a kind of...
... I'm supposed to do it the wadokai way. ;-) And I can see a few things I do different. But it's hard to comment on a video. Especially when the execution is...
... I have always wondered if there is there some kind of split between doing shuto uke/uchi the 'windshield wiper' way and the 'kendo sword' way. Can anybody...
... What is kendo sword way? I thought that goes from up to down. Doesn't soto uke go sideways? Igor...good luck explaining 'windshield wiper'... :) Bob...
"Fist up first", as Mr Arakawa would say ;) Gary ________________________________ From: bnashrei <bnashrei@...> To: wadokarate@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Hi Folks Firstly nobody’s Kata is perfect, especially mine. That said I always try to avoid this 'windshield wiper' motion when blocking as there is no power...
... If you read my remark carefully you notice that I was talking about shuto uke/uchi, 'the knife hand block'. I have been taught to do it the 'windshield...
Hi Eddie, I hate to disagree with an engineer but while the power is responsible for the motion of the arm and elbow linkage I'd have to argue as to its...
I'm curious to know what other parts of the world are saying about karate's chances for 2016. In July the international federations for baseball, softball,...
... I heard the same thing. Japan is lobbying for baseball. That is quite understandable in that more people play baseball than karate in Japan. Karate is...
I'm thinking, considering the absolute disaster that was the Tae Kwon Do event in Beijing, the IOC would be somewhat reserved towards the idea of another...
Ah but no Eddie, we have not strayed. I think perhaps your bold statement led us here so perhaps this is a logical moment to assess the substance of our...
FWIW (which is nothing) my money is staring in the vicinity of Reg's analysis and ending near, but not on, Eddie's conclusion. Seems like the body 'obey's'...
Hi, Seeing as we are getting all scientific on this topic I thought I might as well throw in my 2 cents worth. First off Newtonian physics describes most fluid...
This is more about softball but you get the idea of what is in store. http://www.mddcasa.org/ioc_vote_2009.pdf Karate has to make the initial cut in Berlin...
Hey Bob How's things? The idea is that karate in the Olympics will expand participation. I like judo but do I ever get to see it during the Olympic broadcasts?...
Hi Melrose, Maybe it's me but one of the problems I have is trying to keep the origins of wado movement within a box labeled Newtonian physics, which is why I...
Melrose, I'm not going to disagree about the ability of Newtonian physics to approximate human movement when given enough iterations. The difficulty and time...
From talking to some pro coaches for the other sports at school and reading a bit more news online, here are some things I've gleaned. The first thing is no...
This is exciting to read. I like the reasoning. It does not seem like hitting the ref would be that big of a deal since it happens in other sports and not...
I'm probably being a heretic here, but what's the big deal about karate in the olympics? What is it good for? What's in it for me? I guess the underlying...
The answer is to look towards Jigoro Kano. There's an excellent book, "The pyjama game" Mark Law? Gives a damn good explanation of Judo, its development and...
... I think you bring up a valid point, but there are perhaps some very solid reasons for karate in the Olympics. This has been discussed on the forum before,...
The 3rd Annual Japan Experience Home Stay for high school students will be held again this year from July 26 to August 9. The program is hosted by the...
Hi all, Â I'm hoping someone can direct me to an online copy/listing of the FEW European Wadokai Championships 2008 results. I've searched online and found...
Hi to everyone. I've been delaying the purchase of some Wado resources from overseas for a while now (I live in New Zealand - so finding anything Wado locally...
