Comment on Shotokan vs Wado Ki Kai by Kshar

I am currently a student of Sensei Rod (Wado Ki Kai). The system is awesome and I would encourage everyone to take it. You get to learn a lot of stuff because it’s based on so many Okinawan and other Japanese systems. The only downside is that we have too many katas in our system (33, I guess). it’s hard to be perfect at all of them, but this thing also makes Wado Ki Kai unique. There is also a lot of interaction with all the Senseis since ther are not a lot of people in the system. After doing it for 2 months, you’ll start feeling like a part of it.

both styles have the same katas (forms)- these katas were created by anko itosu, an okinawan school teacher (1831-1915)- the katas were created in order to teach CHILDREN basic movements, rudimentary coordination, footwork, etc., 1600s? nope- wa means harmony or peace but can also mean ‘japanese’- usually wado is translated as way of peace- there are only minor differences between these styles- wado says they emphasize relaxation but i’ve never seen a wado practitioner perform kata any more ‘relaxed’ than other karateka- but shotokan practitioners also emphasize relaxation to some degree- shotokan has definately produced more exceptional karateka- tanaka, egami, asai, kanazawa- to name a few

$90? Mate, I’ll move there to train! Lol Choose the style YOU like and is the best fit for you and do you like the instructor and the other students?
I help to run a Shotokan Club in Neutral Bay - Sydney Australia. There is Shotokan (JKA) and there is Shotokan (what we do). It’s not a ‘crash bang’ big man always wins, approach.

Same problem as Will, phone is basically always on E network causing calls to drop out constantly, people can never hear me and I have to stay perectly still to have a somewhat sucsessful conversation. My phone locks up too with a re-boot needed to nurse it back to health. I am over it and am suprised I still put up with it. Reckon a Blackberry Bold is the way to go as have heard bad things on the Iphone but hey, I said the same thing about the blackjack a year ago so what do I know?
