IronWarrior Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Anyone else here train in Wado Kai 'Ryu' Karate? Just wondering?
Fish Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Is Wado Kai basically the same as Wado Ryu? "They can because they think they can." - School Motto.(Shodan 11th Oct 08)
IronWarrior Posted November 30, 2005 Author Posted November 30, 2005 Yes its the same Karate, Its confuses alot of people..lol! Its just a political difference, Kai means 'orgainization' Ryu means 'school' in order for Otsuka Sensei to register it under the JKA he changed it to Ryu like Goju Ryu e.t.c. which would make it 1 of the 4 Karate styles reconized by the JKA in Tokyo, Japan Originally it was Kai, when Otsuka Sensei passed on it caused some confusion e.t.c. of who should by right take over e.t.c. it is now reconized in the JKA as Ryu or Kai..see..... very confusing so yes your doing the same karate as me..lol a block or strike may be a bit different in some katas, but thats about it. its still Wado.
Grimslade Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 I take wado-ryu... where are you from? "I am your judge, Executioner, jury, Executioner, lawyer, prosecutor, and if necessary... your Executioner"
Charlie Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Is it true that Wado-ryu is based on the Sabaki-method of Karate? If so, how is Wado-ryu different from other Sabaki-based styles like Ashihara and Enshin?
IronWarrior Posted December 2, 2005 Author Posted December 2, 2005 Wado was developed before Enshin Karate, they are a bit similar in the theory of evading a attack, bodyshifting 'tai-sabaki' e.t.c.. Enshin employs alot of Kyokushin priciples as well low kicks,knees e.t.c...
