Wado-Ryu

[Samuel]

Doing a quick search of the forum, There isnt much talk of Wado-Ryu.

Anyho, Aiwakai Wado-Ryu Is the style that my local club practices in.

I thought I'd just make this topic to try muster those who practice in this style and get any suggestions/hints.tips On it and the like

With this forum primarly being american (Not sure if it is though?) I suppose Wado is rare over there? It doesnt seem all that rare to me over her in England though.

Ive also found alittle something for practitioners of Wado Here...

Its a website shoving videos of Kihon and Kumite and kata etc could come in handy, But of course its no replacement for the teachings from your sensei.

Along with this..

Albeit the "Us Eastern Syllabus" (Where I would want a Uk Syllabus)

I can put one and one together and see what this style of Karate involvles

Those techniques are very similar to the techniques we practice in Shotokan.

A quick dabble on Wikipedia pulled this up..

On the surface Wado-ryu looks very similar to other styles such as Shotokan. However, there are some important differences...
