I had the Honour to train with Hironori Ōtsuka, when I studied Wado for many years, Wado was a combination of Karate and Jujitsu created by him. he also sign my copy of Suzukis book along with Suzuki himself and other great instructors of the day, Wakemei, Maeda, Kobayashi etc.
Yes, this is an old man, Hironori Ōtsuka. To those who do not know who he was and what he is demonstrating right here, I´d like to point out that you are honoured to watch the Founder of Wado-Ryu-Karate-do demonstrating his Wado-Ryu-Karate. Congratulations, you have entered a time tunnel. He was born 1892 and began studying Karate in 1922 under Gichin Funakoshi, who is known as the founder of modern Karate and creator of the Shotokan-Karate-do. Well, you are touching the roots of traditional Karate right here. Maybe those who feel uncomtortable or those who show some flame here, might think about it. Anyone who makes the decision to study Karate will go through defined basic forms of idealised Kumite, which might be unspectacular. It takes some time, but the Karateka will step up while developing physically, technically and mentally. This is the deepest root of the Wado-Tree. It derives from Shotokan and Ju-Jutsu and was defined by Hironori Ōtsuka, when he founded his own Dojo, from 1934 on, and developed Wado-Ryu. I feel lucky to have studied both, Shotokan and Wado-Ryu (R.I.P. Teruo Kono).
@@poopgame5732 I don' t mind reading some flame. You are obviously not seriously interested and probably have never studied traditional Karate-Do. That is okay with me as long as you stay on your way through never ending foggy darkness of lacking knowledge and character.
@@poopgame5732 Im doing the same too man. Just started today so trying to get a better understanding of how Wado looks first hand from the man himself. Beautiful art. Beautiful form.
There are many styles of karate but the wado ryu karate has something very special, I am very proud to be a student of following the teachings of the Grand Master Hironori Otzuka (legend of Japanese karate), Tatzuo Suzuki his oldest disciple (the direct teaching of Hironori Otzuka) and Fukazawa (the best in kata I've ever seen), the great legends of wado ryu.🥋⛩🙇♂
As a Japanese jujitsu black belt I can say it is impressive to see how he is always maintaining the relative bio mechanical advantage. It is easy to see how these techniques can be applied to sparring or self defence.
Suzuki used to come to Sliedrecht (Holland) 'cause he had some kind of relationship with my teacher Teun Tromp. I've had the privilege to attend some training sessions and speak to him. Great karateka! This was about 20 years ago. Also I met and trained with Naoki Ishikawa... May he rest in peace. Man, those were great times!
soy hernan anchundia es un honor ver en practica al maestro hironori ya que yo practico el wado ryu y gracias a este estilo por la rapides de sus movimientos he quedado campeon en varias competencias principalmente en kumite siendo guiado por el exelente sensei carlos tamayo le escribo de ecuadorm
The original Okinawan Karate styles such as Shorin Ryu and Shorei Ryu only go back as far as the mid to late 1800's. The native Okinawan fighting style called "Te" is centuries older, but it wasn't until the late 1800's that they began combining it with Chinese martial arts to create the first Karate styles.
The style matters just as much as the fighter, whether you want to believe it or not. There are some styles that are more effective than others, as has been proven time and time again through competition and on the street.
As a boy it completely changed my life. Whereas I would always respond to bullies and fight them, getting in trouble. When I started Karate, I was so much more disciplined, even as a kid. Eventually of course it became funny to see someone act in such a way, but in my earlier years before I knew how to deal with people who act in childish ways, without Karate, I would have been in so much trouble for fighting and such like.
I hate people that say "Karate sucks lolz" or whatever without even attempting it. Not every style is for everyone, some people find certain styles better depending on their surroundings, location and personal likes and dislikes. But if you have never trained in Karate you can only look at the physical aspects of it, not the mental or spiritual aspects that others may enjoy. No one should enjoy or even like a little every martial art style, but no one should ever judge a style either, they all have their benefits and drawbacks.
At least karate employs weapons in it's curriculum ...which would be more useful to a person on the streets than grapalling on the ground. One could incorporate many uses using concealed weapons in everyday objects to their advantage in real life situations....
The only thing I hate about youtube is it's word restriction. The Late honorable Sensei Tatsuo Suzuki 8th DAN Hanshi of Wado Ryu Karate died On the 12 July 2011 at age 83 his Dojo was in Fulham London SW6 and he was truly a really nice person a really Great Man may he now R.I.P. XXX You will always be remembered.
There are circular attack and defenses in Wado Thomas. Pinan Yondon displays a lot of Chinese influence in its waza. I study Wado currently but also did Kung fu in my 20s. For me, Wado is the most well rounded and practical MA because it employs both atemi waza and Jujitsu techniques such as trapping and grappling. I've done 4 different MA and Wado is a good fit. Also, if I may- none of the posted Wado demos show a lot of the really nasty stuff we train in. And I'm glad. Only guys that tr
I can't, the movement is soo smooth! like it's not even sharp, but you can feel the power in it! I don't want to be philosophical but I can't describe this as anything more than, water. It looks like it has a lot of force in it but it isn't sharp it's almost calming and smooth like water. Just the technique alone with sharp and powerful movement like the black belt in my dojo isn't mastery, this is. Wow, just wow.
From what I've read, Karate was not invented for street fighting (or for sport for that matter). The combat aspect of karate was intended for self defense, not street fighting. Meaning if someone attacked you, instead of spending 5 minutes brawling it out with them you would end it as quick as you can by using strikes to the neck, throat, joints and other sensitive areas.Karate has more aspects than just the physical aspect, there are mental and psychological aspects as well that people dont see
i have never really believed in styles that much, I've done wado ryu since i was in high school and since then I've practised wing chun and jiu jitsu a bit. and i found that styles give you techniques and how to execute them, but when it comes down to it the person who has learned the technique needs to know to make it work in a fight. i came second in a karate tournament the other day, last guy cheated but anyway, it was the visualisation and concentration before and during the fight that got me as far as i did. when you focus properly you instinctively use whatever techniques you know to fit whatever situation you're in. and if it doesn't work the first time make it work the second and so on
for example i fought a second dan wado ryu black belt who also had a black belt in lou gar. his guard was very difficult to get around at first, but as soon as i closed the gap i used a wing chun technique to move his arm just for a split second.
You're right in the sense that it takes the person to make a technique work. I'd say that a martial arts/boxing/kickboxing, etc, are like tool boxes. You can have a box with all the tools in, be told and seen demonstrations on how to use them, but if you haven't actually used them yourself, then it's unlikely you'll be able to get it right first time without proper practise.
All and all...a few lessons i learn first before even touch the mats are respect and humility over other people, arts etc,..even most of the technique are not to my liking...i learn to respect it...cos they are there before i came...we owe it to those people who paved the ways so we can have the luxury to choose what works for our self.. if you do not like it or you discover it won't work for you..leave it then...with respect..not mockery... take a Ritsu-rei and say Yosh!!
agreeable, but the disadvantage for linear attacks is that they are so much easier to block if you do it correctly. Circular attacks might attack peripherally so it is more difficult to block or see it
There no such thing a martial art is better than the other...it's just the individual...I took Bruce Lee's words; discover what works for you, your mind and body..do not restrict or be tied by forms..learn as much as you can in order to discover you ability...and hone that ability...the rest is just a state of mind...
@THE MARTIAL ARTS CHANNEL Sorry, but you really don't know what you are talking about. Karate was developed in the 1800s when Chinese martial artists immigrated to Okinawa and began training the Okinawans in Chinese Shaolin Kung Fu. The earliest practitioner of Karate was Sakugawa Kanga, who lived from 1733 to 1815 and began training in Kung Fu under a Chinese Kung Fu master named Kusanku in 1756. Sakugawa Kanga then began training other Okinawan students in what would eventually become known as Karate in 1762, and first Karate schools began to emerge in Okinawa in the early 1800s. Karate did not exist in the 1600s.
Style matters as much as the fighter? Maybe to a point in that a great fighter has a style that doesn't suit his abilities, karate is a great art (in the right hands) so saying that each art holds stances and techniques that may leave yourself open to an other art, but would do the same to one that beats the one that beats yours, aikido may beeat karate but lose to savatte which in turn could be beaten by karate (just an example, I'm not saying it would definitely go that way)
You can learn any martial art..but to really draw your full potential in a fight is when there is no more cause and consequences is in the mind. not afraid of pain, get arrested or even,there is no more concern of life and death even your own... some people identify this as "animal instinct"...
Foot, knee, hip and torso positioning reminds me of wing chun. Was there some potential cross pollination there? Would be interesting history if there was
Hi, kung fu guy here. I'm sure stuff like xingyi, wing chun and southern mantis would disagree with circular. Also, in a way, being linear suggests that the attack is more direct and therefore more efficient, rather than taking a circular approach; the above arts mentioned generally take the mentality of "taking the shortest distance" (which translates to straight punches and straight kicks more times than not). And I'm sure Bruce Lee would agree with that, having the wingchun/jkd ideas.
That turtle walk is obviously from kenjutsu, but it should really stay there. When you're both playing with 3 foot long razorblades, every inch could be life or death, and sometimes you just have to sneak a few in. In hand to hand, you can afford to jab away at someone who's just creeping around on his toes.
J.A.C'ked You obviously don't understand the full advantages of the Turtle Walk. lol I taught Wado Ryu for a few years.....studied from 1990-2002.....reached 2nd Dan (2nd Black). My Masters were David Deaton & Cecil Patterson...under Grand Masters Hironori Otsuka and his son Hironori Otsuka II, who took over after the death of his father. It doesn't matter what type of fighting you are doing. A few extra inches is still a few extra inches. It was mainly for smaller fighters. If a 5'2" person can close in the gap against a 6'9" opponent, he gets more advantage because the taller fighter has such a longer reach...I can put out 2-3 jabsand his one kick can keep me back...but, by slowly, and unnoticeably, moving closer, not only does it get my attacks within reach, but it makes it more difficult on the taller opponent. Longer arms struggle to fight up close against smaller opponents. Also, in the beginning of this video, you can see Otsuka sidestepping at a 45 degree...opposed to straight sideways..he wasn't a big man...5'5"...so, every chance he could get to be closer was taken to advantage.
So you rather take a ridge hand to the bridge of the nose from a tkd artist than round kick to the face or a sliding side kick to the ribs? Either way what ever works, use it. Not all tkd is the bouncing sport kind.
Olá, pessoal! Tudo bem? Fui aluno de Sensei (Sansei) Ricardo do Rio de Janeiro, que foi Campeão Brasileiro de 82. E Sensei (Sansei) Pimentel. Eu preciso que me indique aqui em João Pessoa, Paraíba. Qual é a academia de Karatê que pratica Wado-Ryu. Foi até a faixa marrom e não lembro muito, estou há 20 anos sem praticar. Quero retorna e treinar pra fazer exame de faixa preta. Hoje tem 47 anos. Você podem me ajudar?
Traditional karate cant be use in ufc, because that would mean using competition rules. Traditional karate is meant to disable or even kill your opponent quickly when they attack you. Most of the techniques Knife hand, ridge hand etc would not be allowed so it wouldnt really be any indication of how useful it is or its effectiveness.
I live in Ukraine, and it's no wado clubs here 8n my subregion by now. So, I started to train wado by videos, since I have get some boxing and kiokushin experience. And I really need some person to talk about wado. Please, if you practice wado ryu and want to talk, write me. Ps: do you produce, that in first gata Otsuka sensei, doing evasion with step outside, lean little forward under his knee, like in Takagi yoshin ryu. But all I saw on vids his students did it backwards, which I think, very unnatural and hurting.
those pointless, distracting arguments have been going on a lot longer than that. I remember those arguments from the early 70's and they were stale then.
This video did not show the titled "Best of Wado ryu karate" Ever so that i could say this video is probably over 15 years old. From then, Wado ryu has become a very effective state of Karate As jujitsu preforms the complete power of what you can do without offense on your side. And the karate it self is a big mash up of thousands of styles and one simple yet popular style is not the best. I train with Wado ryu but i do not take it's side on everything and it cannot control what i do with my body, But help control my body. Slowly making it stronger a smarter to the point where it is all just reaction. But I am unable to explain every bit of this style, see i'm just a kid.
street fighters miss the precision, control, and defense that comes with the martial arts. Your typical street fighter is found in the UFC. Many of those fighters don't have the defense or range ect. that martial art fighters have. I'm pretty sure if one of those black belts were fighting in the street they wont stop attacking until their opponent is down for good. The martial arts is good only if it can be applied to all things in life and not just at tournaments
Any Martial Art is better than no Martial Art or effective fighting form. However, saying that, I'm watching the first 15mins of this video and find it uncomfortable. I want to make it clear I'm no black belt, but I have trained in four different forms of Karate, trained in Aikido and used control and restraint techniques in real life situations. I've practised with Katana's and other various weapons and worked on combat knife techniques. Again I'm not coming at this as any expert. I think my discomfort while watching the technique is reminiscent of my own experience when I did Karate in that the situation is a fiction. By that I mean the movement is practised and learned in a submissive form within a given parameter. There is a single attack with a single response. The attacker is punching away from the target and stops when the opponent counters. This doesn't just apply to Karate, which I honestly respect, but all training I've ever been involved in. Another instance in the video is the defence/attack demonstration of avoiding a sword and countering. Given the tip of the sword is travelling extremely fast and if wielded by an expert the technique of avoiding the strike is at best slim. The flexibility to express movement and technique is only found in good sparring as unpredictability is key to learn attack and counter-attack, and it must fit with reality based scenario's where the attacker is always in motion and doesn't stop to wait for a counter but is making a 2nd or 3rd attack. My personal experience of this happened when I was part of a class being taught breakaway. The instructor didn't know me. He saw a fat out of shape old man who he asked to help him demonstrate how to break a hold. He instructed me on the type of strangle attack. I obliged. He countered and stopped. I countered back and held him on the ground in a choke, which, if I was a real aggressor, would have caused him serious injury. He admitted he didn't know how to break the choke hold and hadn't anticipated my response. He was very gracious. It was my frustration in that the techniques being taught were a lie and gave the participants a sense of security that was unjustified, which takes me back back to my observations above. Teach Martial Arts honestly. No attacker will stand still or wait for you to move. If armed, the weapon will be in motion and is likely to connect. So train attack-counter-attack-counter etc or better still don't get into a confrontation where your training is called upon. Thanks for reading.
Are you making this assertion solely based on this video or have you trained in this style? The higher up you progress the more Jujitsu it embraces and less karate. I read that they had trouble defining whether Wado Ryu was karate or Jujitsu with atemi waza. I find the JJJ elements more relevant personally for practical application though the karate aspects are great for body conditioning and fitness.
You have a right to your opinion, but it's just that- an opinion and one which isn't backed by much facts. Unless you have trained in this style, and others as contrast, you are simply making an uninformed assertion. I've trained in Tae Kwon Do, Wing Chun, Goju Ryu, Kung Fu and BJJ. They all have merit. Wado Ryu, for me, is the best fit at this point of my life.

majin2912 I don't need to have gay sex to know it sucks (no pun intended). You can use logic and common sense and see that Aikido, most styles of Kung Fu after the cultural revolution, and Wado Ryu are garbage.
The karatê Wado-Ryu is the style. WA=peace and harmony, DO=walk, RYU=style. Wado Kai, KAI=organization. Is the world organization do Wado-Ryu in Japan.
Actually you would try to end a street fight quickly too so I dont see how you can say that.The only time a 5 minute brawl happens depends on the fighters attributes.A reverse punch might stop an average person of equal weight and size.That same move will NOT stop a 350 lb drunk man thats used to bar fights.See what im sayin?
I'm absolutely sure wado ryu is an effective form of fighting, because, you know, blending karate with jujitsu produces a pretty complete self-defense system; and i have seen good, effective examples of this style on youtube. Still, if one were to judge wado ryu by THIS particular video, then he should conclude wado ryu is lame, a bullshit an ineffective. Giving the title "the best of wado ryu" was definetely not a good service to the style
+olly783 Not in the world, but probably a video where he was 90 years old was not the best service one could do to him. Neither one in wich he was repeating the same demonstration over and over again with only minor changes. And the title "best Wado ryu" is rebundant at best
KurtAngle89 yeah I suppose so. It probably got called that so it got sold more. And I think it's just a training demonstration of kumite gata he's doing
You dont know what you are talking about. There's no power or damage in TKD especially, a lot of flapping around to 'tap' an opponent on the face a few times is not quite as effective as a ridge-hand to the throat, now is it?

When was this video made? Thank you for sharing by the way.
Karate is only a little over 100 years old, just a little older than Judo, which makes it a relatively young martial art compared to others.
@THE MARTIAL ARTS CHANNEL Sorry, but you really don't know what you are talking about.

OSS.sensei.fall in fall out.😊😊😊
Foot, knee, hip and torso positioning reminds me of wing chun. Was there some potential cross pollination there? Would be interesting history if there was
@keisuke185 your comment shows you know nothing of martial arts. Its not the style that makes the fighter, its the fighter.
А подсечки где? Мае Гери? Столько моментов было.
Hi, kung fu guy here. I'm sure stuff like xingyi, wing chun and southern mantis would disagree with circular. Also, in a way, being linear suggests that the attack is more direct and therefore more efficient, rather than taking a circular approach; the above arts mentioned generally take the mentality of "taking the shortest distance" (which translates to straight punches and straight kicks more times than not).
And I'm sure Bruce Lee would agree with that, having the wingchun/jkd ideas.
People forget about what is important: do your best and don't disturb me.
Ju jutsu!
Why we can see all wado sabaki princeples in tyson or floyd maywether*s fight, but not in this kumite?
absolut now reality
Its kind of like Iaido
That turtle walk is obviously from kenjutsu, but it should really stay there. When you're both playing with 3 foot long razorblades, every inch could be life or death, and sometimes you just have to sneak a few in. In hand to hand, you can afford to jab away at someone who's just creeping around on his toes.
J.A.C'ked You obviously don't understand the full advantages of the Turtle Walk. lol
I taught Wado Ryu for a few years.....studied from 1990-2002.....reached 2nd Dan (2nd Black). My Masters were David Deaton & Cecil Patterson...under Grand Masters Hironori Otsuka and his son Hironori Otsuka II, who took over after the death of his father.
It doesn't matter what type of fighting you are doing. A few extra inches is still a few extra inches. It was mainly for smaller fighters. If a 5'2" person can close in the gap against a 6'9" opponent, he gets more advantage because the taller fighter has such a longer reach...I can put out 2-3 jabsand his one kick can keep me back...but, by slowly, and unnoticeably, moving closer, not only does it get my attacks within reach, but it makes it more difficult on the taller opponent. Longer arms struggle to fight up close against smaller opponents. Also, in the beginning of this video, you can see Otsuka sidestepping at a 45 degree...opposed to straight sideways..he wasn't a big man...5'5"...so, every chance he could get to be closer was taken to advantage.
J.A.C'ked lol i know right.. if you notice someone turtle walking just simply reset to a new position.
What is wado kai has it got different moves
So you rather take a ridge hand to the bridge of the nose from a tkd artist than round kick to the face or a sliding side kick to the ribs? Either way what ever works, use it. Not all tkd is the bouncing sport kind.
Olá, pessoal! Tudo bem?
Fui aluno de Sensei (Sansei) Ricardo do Rio de Janeiro, que foi Campeão Brasileiro de 82. E Sensei (Sansei) Pimentel. Eu preciso que me indique aqui em João Pessoa, Paraíba. Qual é a academia de Karatê que pratica Wado-Ryu. Foi até a faixa marrom e não lembro muito, estou há 20 anos sem praticar. Quero retorna e treinar pra fazer exame de faixa preta. Hoje tem 47 anos. Você podem me ajudar?
Yes, what is that?
2ND KYU DISCIPLE
Traditional karate cant be use in ufc, because that would mean using competition rules. Traditional karate is meant to disable or even kill your opponent quickly when they attack you. Most of the techniques Knife hand, ridge hand etc would not be allowed so it wouldnt really be any indication of how useful it is or its effectiveness.
you might wanna look up kyokushin karate
consistent kumithe fighter becomes a worthless streat fighter while an effective streat fighter becomes a disqualified Kumithe fighter
I live in Ukraine, and it's no wado clubs here 8n my subregion by now. So, I started to train wado by videos, since I have get some boxing and kiokushin experience. And I really need some person to talk about wado. Please, if you practice wado ryu and want to talk, write me.
Ps: do you produce, that in first gata Otsuka sensei, doing evasion with step outside, lean little forward under his knee, like in Takagi yoshin ryu. But all I saw on vids his students did it backwards, which I think, very unnatural and hurting.
those pointless, distracting arguments have been going on a lot longer than that. I remember those arguments from the early 70's and they were stale then.
The narrator in the beginning sounds like Charlie Sheen.
This video did not show the titled "Best of Wado ryu karate" Ever so that i could say this video is probably over 15 years old. From then, Wado ryu has become a very effective state of Karate As jujitsu preforms the complete power of what you can do without offense on your side. And the karate it self is a big mash up of thousands of styles and one simple yet popular style is not the best. I train with Wado ryu but i do not take it's side on everything and it cannot control what i do with my body, But help control my body. Slowly making it stronger a smarter to the point where it is all just reaction. But I am unable to explain every bit of this style, see i'm just a kid.
You still have a lot to learn about the style I guess. I train in Wado-Kai. I am also a kid.
Kyokushin the best
No kyokushin
wadoryu
Well, it is a pity if this was "Best of Wado ryu Karate". I expected much more.
He's old duh, I expect him to fly and walk on water.
Sounds like David Deaton
street fighters miss the precision, control, and defense that comes with the martial arts. Your typical street fighter is found in the UFC. Many of those fighters don't have the defense or range ect. that martial art fighters have. I'm pretty sure if one of those black belts were fighting in the street they wont stop attacking until their opponent is down for good. The martial arts is good only if it can be applied to all things in life and not just at tournaments
Any Martial Art is better than no Martial Art or effective fighting form. However, saying that, I'm watching the first 15mins of this video and find it uncomfortable. I want to make it clear I'm no black belt, but I have trained in four different forms of Karate, trained in Aikido and used control and restraint techniques in real life situations. I've practised with Katana's and other various weapons and worked on combat knife techniques. Again I'm not coming at this as any expert.
I think my discomfort while watching the technique is reminiscent of my own experience when I did Karate in that the situation is a fiction. By that I mean the movement is practised and learned in a submissive form within a given parameter. There is a single attack with a single response. The attacker is punching away from the target and stops when the opponent counters. This doesn't just apply to Karate, which I honestly respect, but all training I've ever been involved in.
Another instance in the video is the defence/attack demonstration of avoiding a sword and countering. Given the tip of the sword is travelling extremely fast and if wielded by an expert the technique of avoiding the strike is at best slim.
The flexibility to express movement and technique is only found in good sparring as unpredictability is key to learn attack and counter-attack, and it must fit with reality based scenario's where the attacker is always in motion and doesn't stop to wait for a counter but is making a 2nd or 3rd attack.
My personal experience of this happened when I was part of a class being taught breakaway. The instructor didn't know me. He saw a fat out of shape old man who he asked to help him demonstrate how to break a hold. He instructed me on the type of strangle attack. I obliged. He countered and stopped. I countered back and held him on the ground in a choke, which, if I was a real aggressor, would have caused him serious injury. He admitted he didn't know how to break the choke hold and hadn't anticipated my response. He was very gracious.
It was my frustration in that the techniques being taught were a lie and gave the participants a sense of security that was unjustified, which takes me back back to my observations above. Teach Martial Arts honestly. No attacker will stand still or wait for you to move. If armed, the weapon will be in motion and is likely to connect. So train attack-counter-attack-counter etc or better still don't get into a confrontation where your training is called upon.
Thanks for reading.
it's just a training video to show how to do khion gumite and kumite gata
Are you making this assertion solely based on this video or have you trained in this style? The higher up you progress the more Jujitsu it embraces and less karate. I read that they had trouble defining whether Wado Ryu was karate or Jujitsu with atemi waza. I find the JJJ elements more relevant personally for practical application though the karate aspects are great for body conditioning and fitness.
You have a right to your opinion, but it's just that- an opinion and one which isn't backed by much facts. Unless you have trained in this style, and others as contrast, you are simply making an uninformed assertion. I've trained in Tae Kwon Do, Wing Chun, Goju Ryu, Kung Fu and BJJ. They all have merit. Wado Ryu, for me, is the best fit at this point of my life.
majin2912 I don't need to have gay sex to know it sucks (no pun intended). You can use logic and common sense and see that Aikido, most styles of Kung Fu after the cultural revolution, and Wado Ryu are garbage.
Well, if that's your prerogative. I don't agree.
Thats only true for the japanes styles. The okinawan styles are much older.
I laughed at that little old man a lot
We all feel sorry for you. I dub thee "unenlightened".
Is this lazer tag?
can somebody tell me the difference between wado-ryu and wado kai?
there is no difference between them.its just the name of organization.
Azuma Kun Wado-ryu is a style and Wado kai is the name of the organization
The karatê Wado-Ryu is the style. WA=peace and harmony, DO=walk, RYU=style. Wado Kai, KAI=organization. Is the world organization do Wado-Ryu in Japan.
it is better not to hear the commentator on the video, just watch!
Fight in UFC and I will admit
Unique Turtle Walking, lol. If only Darwin could have lived to see that, he may have been inspired to write a follow up,lmco.
Actually you would try to end a street fight quickly too so I dont see how you can say that.The only time a 5 minute brawl happens depends on the fighters attributes.A reverse punch might stop an average person of equal weight and size.That same move will NOT stop a 350 lb drunk man thats used to bar fights.See what im sayin?
Karate is a sport and very old martial art which is not the best for steert fight
I'm absolutely sure wado ryu is an effective form of fighting, because, you know, blending karate with jujitsu produces a pretty complete self-defense system; and i have seen good, effective examples of this style on youtube. Still, if one were to judge wado ryu by THIS particular video, then he should conclude wado ryu is lame, a bullshit an ineffective. Giving the title "the best of wado ryu" was definetely not a good service to the style
so Otsuka the guy who started Wado ryu is lame?
+olly783 Not in the world, but probably a video where he was 90 years old was not the best service one could do to him. Neither one in wich he was repeating the same demonstration over and over again with only minor changes. And the title "best Wado ryu" is rebundant at best
KurtAngle89 yeah I suppose so. It probably got called that so it got sold more. And I think it's just a training demonstration of kumite gata he's doing
You dont know what you are talking about.
There's no power or damage in TKD especially, a lot of flapping around to 'tap' an opponent on the face a few times is not quite as effective as a ridge-hand to the throat, now is it?
