Pacificshore Posted May 18, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
