LOL nice one tervorg. Seriously though since the thread is going, what is wrong with the clips, according to SamHale?

I think that Wado Ryu is a wonderful interpretation of karate, based on these videos. The application videos are very interesting.

I do not care for the way the kata was executed, but that is neither here nor there overall. My sense of timing and rhythm are very different in the karate I have practiced both in applications and kata, but overall I found the videos to be good, maybe not excellent, but certainly a strong demonstration.

Well,I did reply to this earlier but we had a spike in the office so maybe it just disappeared up its own jacksy.

My problem these days is the old eyes are deceiving me more and more. For example, I could swear in the first vid (the FAINT one) that it was more mawashi tsuki than uraken to begin with, although later on it is easy to spot a classic uraken jodan.

Forgive an old git, but I always had fast hands and still think I do (at least in my mind) and I have tried and tried to replicate the first uraken strike that is shown and in the style it is shown (remember, I do kyokushin, not wado) but I concede defeat.

Am I missing something ????

As for the rest of the vids,they are OK,but then its not what I do.

I am no expert, but when all else fails, relax (particularly your shoulders and knees).

When your fast and you feel slow it could be the timing between the step en the uraken. The uraken hits when the step is about halfway and not when the step's about to finish. Or the direction, try moving past your opponent instead of towards his/her centre.
AJ will probably respond anyway (btw always nice to see Willem getting hit).

I have got that OK buts the hand movement itself, not the moment it strikes, that I cant follow. I am just not sure its a uraken.

Hi all,

usually I don't react to such things, but since Casper nearly forces me I guess I'll have to :p

- Uraken is the back of the fist. Where and how it hits in not appropriate. I certainly hit with the back of the fist. (think about furiken (uraken used as a swing in Seishan kata, or tate uraken in pinan yondan / kushanku)
- Wado hits from the position where the hand is, especially from an advanced level. Basic, off course you will pull the hand to the other side of the center (exaggerated it would be around the shoulder) but the center is a very thin line. If you move off the centerline the fist is technically already at the side of his head. The internal energy dynamics are the same, only to the eye its different.

Respect to Casper.

BTW: This years summercamp with Shihan Ishikawa was a classic top camp! :D

Well, I don't post that much. Mostly read, but responses "quotes" I hardly do. Unless somebody has a well considered argument that I disagree with :P

I will post a few on Shihan Ishikawa's official website when I receive all from the participants. http://www.shihan-ishikawa.nl.

- a technical update will follow soon with pictures from his old book. Some is online already.

also, in wado it's not really necessary to actually hit the opponent with the uraken. Usually it's used as an opening for something else, more serious technique.



- Wado hits from the position where the hand is, especially from an advanced level.


yes, Wado utilizes the lead hand a lot. That's our basic, as evidenced in Kihon Kumite 3, 5 and 7.

Yep. Speed = relaxation + economy of motion

When I said that I wasn't an expert, I meant that I'm not Takagi, or Arakawa or anything. I am just a Wado shmo. I just noticed that the most common thing that I noticed that keeps people from going fast is tensing muscles.

Our stupid heads seem to naturally get the equation wrong: speed = more muscle + trying harder + bursting a blood vessel in our heads.

I've tried the applied math on that. It hurts.

:) hmm... true and basic wado explenation but is not what I meant by Wado Mathematics... more in a way like

1+1+2= 1
2+1+1= 1
3+4+1= 1

LOL, you say the same words as I do to many interested wado karate people hear in Belgium that came from another ryuha, especialy the pumping blood vessel experts aka sho...an ;) sorry, that was not nice for those but TRUE!

thank you

Thank you epramberg, nice to see where on the same level here ;)

LOL, you say the same words as I do ... That also counts for many wadoka's around the globe because the 3 basic principles are not cleared out right by there sensei, or training solely for competition (sports).

In Wado-Ryu Karate-do Renmei we are hammered on that... Mudana no shikara... yokurito, relax, move with the univers, especially Nyuanshin/Junanshin/Shoshin, etc...

In those self posted vids, I can clearly see... that's why I said in my first post that I've mixed feelings by these "wado" business/money/self promoting vids.

Off topic: I really don't like that, putting yourself on the foreground like that, true vids, pic, posters,... should be forbidden by the kai... Wado is not to promote yourself... and for "Shihan" Ishikawa, is he really belong to Wadokai? I remember much to do around him, calling himself European instructor etc... trying to hijack... ever bin on yahoo? The thing is that I met AJ and he is a fine young man (22) with a great interest in Budo ea. That's why he should be a bit more...

My apology's, for being... by using such words as above, I'm falling of my road myself now... but hey we're all just students and should learn from our mistakes, we're not the sensei! Please ignore this post...

Argh.. when first time I had contact with AJ, he was a teenager with a Dan rank in Wado. Now he's 23. That means I am getting old..er ;) :( :)

But, if all young Wadoka are as devoted to Wado as AJ is, I am happy. :)
