How I did the other Katas I broke it down and did it section by section and repeating, repeating and repeating. I guess when one is hit with Kushanku one tends...
Putting the Pinan Katas aside and not including them. Out of all the rest of the Katas what Kata was the easiest to learn? I am still at the Pinan Kata...
I have taken these proposals off my blog as per a direct request from the WKF since these rule changes will not be considered after all during the senior...
Hi, I´ve a question about Qigong in our Kata especially Seishan or influences from other internal martial arts. As far as I know is our Seishan a "kihon"...
Hi Frank, Â according Wikipedia: Qigong is the Mandarin Chinese term used to describe various Chinese systems of physical and mental training for health, [1]...
Seishan has become my favorite Kata in recent years. It is the most deep Kata in my opinion. The correct practice of Seishan is hardly taught. It is not the...
Do you Train at other Dojos/Clubs? Is Training with other Clubs/Dojos allowed? Do you do another style of Martial Arts or is Wado the main one? Fram...
All omote kata have that iceberg quality Tyrone, they are designed that way because the traveller needs the 10% starting point to begin his or her study. If we...
Hi Jaron and T., thank you for the answers. Finding a good teacher (I think I have one) is a problem because it´s not easy to estimate and verify his...
I doubt Ohtsuka Sensei gave a toss about Qigong. Being a traditional Japanese, everything he needed was in his own native Budo Arts. His attitude towards...

Tyrone, Well said! Seishan, along with Naihanchi, are deep and important kata to understand how to use your body in fighting. As you say, this goes far beyond...
Hi All Nice to see some debate on here again I believe that what you "see" in something is subject to your (your instructors) level of understanding and...
"I remember some years back, someone on here asked what the first move of Seishan meant and had virtually no answers. Someone offered the usual explanation...
Ok, accepted that there is no Qigong-Influence in Wado-Ryu Kata. It's understandable that Ohtsuka wouldn't be interested in Chinese or Okinawan Internal...
Hi Frank, I agree with sensei Tyrone and, if I may say, I honestly hope to find no connection between Wado's Seishan and Qigong, being Wado a wonderful martial...
Hi Folks I must side with Claudio on this. There is nothing mystical about Wado Ryu, nothing that breaks the laws of physics. On the contrary everything we...
... Don't rule out ol' Einstein either. He had a punch you wouldn't believe. ;-) I particularly like the application of E=MC2 in Wado. A lot of the 'mystical'...
Hi Eddie, I would say: `mystical power and delusional mumbo jumbo' notwithstanding, and with Wikipedia noting that: "The Japanese language contains over 11,442...
Hi All I think that it is unwise to dismiss out of hand ancient concepts and wisdom. Those of you that have taken some time to look into it, would have ...
Given the news of Benoit Mandelbrot's death and as we're talking science with regard to Wado (plus a few glasses of wine), I would like to also throw his name ...
... Hi Reg, how are things over in Oz? Did you spot that small hole in your backyard? That was me. I just drilled a small hole right through the globe. Then I...
Hi Igor,  It wasn't your ki that made the distance...it was your deo...hahaha...lol  How is A'dam? Are you at Arnold's in December?  groetjes Jaron ... ...
... Considering I didn't have deo, it must have been the lack thereof. ... A'dam is still standing. Even though today I feared it might have washed away. We...
But wouldn't there still be some Wado involved if the distanced stayed the same before, during and after your maegeri? ________________________________ From:...
