WADO RYU (5th Kyu-2nd Green Belt)

Wado Ryu or Wado Kai is a Japanese Style of Karate as opposed to a Okinawan style!

It wasn't until Otsuka Sensei trained under Funakoshi Sensei, in Japan, did it become Karate as Otsuka Sensei was a Jujitsuka before this!

Many believe that Wado is neither Karate nor Jujitsu but something in between!

I am sure Sojobo-san will be able to elaborate on Wado and in fact correct any discrepancies I have written, OSU

IMO Wado is definately Karate, however you are right in that it takes many of it's internal workings from Otuska's jujutsu knowledge.

The Wadokai practice Wado-ryu btw, it is not a separate style.

I know violence isn't the answer... I got it wrong on purpose!!!
