Thanks for all the recommendations. They are very useful. The reasons for me wanting to learn other katas of other styles is only to broaden my knowledge and also I love to compete in tournaments. I will continue to study with wado ryu because I have faith in the styles fighting techniques. But I believe that in competition when it come to a certain level (ie Black belts), katas that are performed must be showy (as I would call it). Wado katas consist of non-showy technique that involve high stances and quick movements. It is very odds to see a wado kata that has any low stances or slowing of a techniques. I would like to stick with wado but at the same time train with another styles to learn other katas and to further my knowledge.

Hello everyone, I am a student of the Wado Ryu karate style. After training for a couple of year with this style I have found that its katas have limits in scoring at tournaments. Therefore I would like to broaden my knowledge of katas by also joining another club. Thus can someone please recommend to me a style of karate that has great tournament katas. I have heard that shotokan, Shorin ryu and ****o ryu all have great katas.
