Pacificshore Posted May 18, 2003 Posted May 18, 2003 Welcome. I believe there are some Wado people on board. From my general knowledge, it is a Japanese hybrid of Shotokan, but somewhat of a softer version. In other words, rather than utilizing direct blocks and such, they deflect. Otherwise it's pretty much like Shotokan. Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia
