please correct me if im wrong but didnt the founder of Wado-ryu originally study a koryu kejutsu ryu? I am told that is why his karate system is all about tai-sabaki, not confronting force head on or using any kind of static blocking movements. i am a jujutsu practitioner and these techniques are fascinating. :-)

@EishinRyu Yes,Shindo Yoshin Ryu Jujitsu

what would happen if the sword striked faster than the Sensei moved?

[vwr78]

With the perfect Maai and Hyoshi of Sensei?Nothing... :-)

An excellent post. His moves are so smooth they appear to be almost effortless. The gentleman appearing with him, holding the sword, is his son, Mr. Jiro, who is now called "Master Ohtsuka", and is the current Master of Wado Karate. The quote at the end of the clip typify the original Master Ohtsuka's attitude about karate and life. This attitude goes beyond the combat aspect of the art, and why I hold Master Ohtsuka and Wado in such high regard.

I trained in Wado Ryu for many years (my sensei was trained by Suzuki Sensei).before moving to Shotokan when I moved location (no Wado there). Shotokan has many wonderful elements but it focuses on technique and 'technical' tournament fighting criteria and has become soft. Wado is superior in its focus on the real art of fighting without a preoccupation on winning superfluous 'tournament points. Please know that I have full respect for Shotokan (the head of Shotokan stayed in my home).
