Wado Kai uses more kata than Wado Ryu Renmei. the additional kata used in Wado Kai include Suparinpei, Niseishi, Jitte, Jion, Jiin, Wansu, Rohai, and Passai.

 

For a good look at the hstory and origins of Suparinpei, see Higoanna's article on the hata in the current Classical Fighting Arts.

 

I suspect Ohtsuka learned the kata from Mabuni Kenwa. I know he was one of the group of students sent by Funakoshi to learn Gojishiho, Niseishi, and Sochin in the mid 1930s. Ohtsuka maintained a relationship with Mabuni until the latter's death.

 

The Wado version of Suparinpei resembles the Shito version quite closely, the only difference being the use of Wado ukewaza.

No, the name itself means 108, but it refers to a concept from Bhuddism, not the number of movements. Just out of curiosity, how long have you been training?
