Hello everyone: I am happy to announce that I have completed a translation of Mabuni Kenwa's "Kobo Jizai Karate Kenpo Seipai no Kenkyu" v1.0. Like the...
Hi Everyone, Myself and my Dojo have recently started a website for our club. I hope to build it up over the coming months with history, reviews, training tips...
Hi I've moved to west Norfolk in the UK and I'm looking for a Wado club the only club I can find states on their website that they are no longer training! And...
I just had my knee scoped, and it hurts. I blame the injury on my attempt to learn Rohai almost two years ago. What happened was this: there are a couple of ...
... I like Rohai John. And I can see the spot you are talking about, and how that could be very problematic for a bad 'left knee'. Maybe you could perform it...
I find Rohei very interesting. Espescially also because you find the movements back in pinan nidan.(at least one) Maybe if you look carefully you can find the...
Hi Simon, Thanks for the reply, but yes it's a bit to far but it is still the nearest Wado club I have heard of! Its about 50 miles from Kings Lynn. The other...
Hi All, I can't remember posting to the group before, although reading the posts. Not being a member for a great length of time, this is the first intro. ...
I was reading through Otsuka sensei's explanation of Naihanchi in his book 'Wadoryu Karate' as I came across this sentence that I had previously overlooked: ...
... his ... named ... Did he ... some ... It could be a mistranslation. The English translation of 'Wadoryu Karate' has been criticized by some. The name "Kibe...
... Motobu did have a nickname. But it was 'monkey' not Kibe. Or is monkey perhaps translated as 'kibe' in Japanese? That would make it an interesting reversed...
There are several mis-translations throughout Grandmaster Ohtsuka's book "Wado Ryu Karate. The translator, Mr Shingo Ishida, is a non-martial artist as stated...
To all our customers, friends and supporters, Marry Christmas to you and your family!!! We wish to notify you that our web site is updated: 1. Seisan...
I write here as we talked us Sensei! When the Sensei was in Budapest, he asked me to write here what I'm thinking about his seminar. In nutshell: In the middle...
Hello all, I'm trying to find information about the kihon kata's in wado ryu. I am a 4th kyu and am familiar with the 10 kihon kumite but have been seeing ...
Our core curriculum includes the Kiso Kumite Kata, which is an 11-step partner kata with pre-defined tore and uke moves. I believe you'll only see the...
I'm wondering how many other Wado schools out there use a Naihanchi Dachi with the toes and knees pointed inward. In reading the text of Master Ohtsuka's "Wado...
John, I've often wondered about thit myself. I think maybe it's the difference between how far the toes are actually turned in. If you notice in those pictures...
... I don't think naihanchi is about toes or feet. And I don't think naihanchi is about stance. Try this for experiment: Stand in a -sort of- naihanchi with...
Maybe we should think of the naihanchidachi as a foundation from which to issue power. In my experience the stance should provide a balance between grip and...
Hello all I hope you had a wonderfull Christmas, i'm trying to find information about Wado-ryu advanced katas especially Jion, Jutte , Chinte , Wanshu and...
John, My wife got to spend a few years analysing Wado as part of her degree in sport, and she looked at some of the anomalies in stances. Some confusion comes...
Hi , i wonder myself but if you look at the available bunkai for this kata then i think its not relevant which position you are as the stance is low and puts...
But kata isn't only bunkai, is it? If the only thing we can learn from kata is combat application, then why train kata at all? IMHO, in the specific case of...
... You duck, the opponent falls over you.... Secret naihanchi technique, don't tell anyone about it. ;-) Igor A ... Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. ...
... ***** ***** No of course not, if you are looking further into the kata there is pressure point , quadrant theory, wave form technique, yin yang theory,...
