Wado Ryu 2.0

Wado Ryu 2.0 is a temporary name for an idea of a new training method and a new orientation of wado ryu.

The basic Idea

The basic idea is to concentrate on the real core of Wado Ryu, which is its principles. And at the same time focus more on real fighting and real self defense.

For this, the idea is to get rid of the solo kata and concentrate more on kumite drills.

We would also reduce the number of kumite drills, to focus more on different techniques.

Instead of 10 Kihon Kumite, we would only have 5, but train them in all sort of variations, so the principle gets more clear. The some goes with Idori and other things.

The connection between yakusoku kumite and jiyu kumite has to be more clear.

So, the concept says this:

• Use all Wado Ryu Principles as Hironori Otsuka develop them between 50 and 100 years ago.

Taking things from other styles, but keep it Wado-Ryu:

• Low Kick from Muay Thai as Mawashigeri Gedan
• Fighting gear frum Kudo or Shorinji Kempo
• Training-Methodand rules for free fight from Kudo Shorinji Kempo and others.
• Ground fight in Jiyu Kumite.
• Fight relistic, for example fpr 30 seconds or so (in real street fight, you don't have much time=.
• Teach/Lern the use of the Principles against other attacks like boxking attacks.

Show and explain in Detail and answer Questions for: Go no Sen Sen Sen no Sen. Mudana no Dosa Mudana no Waza Mudana no Chikara Ten I Ten Gi Ten Tai Nagasu Inasu Noru
6. Dan	30	Same as 5.Dan.	Create and Show 2 new of each Kumite-Group. Explain the Principles from 5th Dan and answer all Questions about it.
7. Dan	40	Same as 5.Dan	Create and Show 3 new of each Kumite-Group. Explain the Principles from 5th Dan and answer all Questions about it.
8. Dan	50	Same as 5.Dan	Create and Show 5 new of each Kumite-Group. Explain the Principles from 5th Dan and answer all Questions about it. On this Level the movement is on the same level as Hironori Otsuka and it should be a level like 8th Dan Kendo.

Maybe we change the system, that 5th Dan is highest examination and you get automatically 6th Dan 10 years later, 7th Dan 20 Years and 8th 30 Years later, as long as you are not older ttha 80 years old at this time.

For example: Somebody pass the 5th Dan Test on 1 January 2032 and this person is 45 years old. Then he gets 6th Dan on Jan 1 2042 and 7th Dan on Jan 1 2052 and 8th Dan on Jan 1 2062.

The person gets his/her 9th Dan never, because this would be the year 2072 and this person would be 85 years old.

The assumption here is, that from a certain level, this person will develop there skills and understanding forever, as long this person is able to do so. And it need no longer any examination for this, because the level of Godan is so high, that the person understands Wado Ryu full.

One idea is also, that the founder itself starts at 9th Kyu on Apr 1 2034 (100 years after the founding of Wado Ryu, SOURCE?????) and gets automatically promoted after the minimum time. So the Founder of this new training method or organisation would get Shodan in 2048, and Godan in the year 2054, indepemndent from his real Wado-Ryu Grade (which will be around Shodan in the year 2034).
