What do we Teach?
Well, lets start with what we don’t teach…
We don’t teach you to do press ups, lift weights, break house bricks or blow people over with the power of your ki alone!!!
What we do teach is a highly practical self defence system based on a thousand years of study and practical testing.
Karate was originally developed as a means of self protection and although it creates physical fitness, stress reduction and confidence, these are side benefits.
As Wado Ryu emphasises avoidance and evasion, with attacks going for vulnerable areas rather than trying to meet force with force, there is no need for ‘conditioning’ knuckles through breaking wood.
We show how the whole body is used in power generation, rather than just relying on muscular strength.
We show how to escape from ground positions, how to deal with weapons attacks, multiple assailants and more.
Sport Karate is covered too, and for those wishing to compete, specialised training is given.
