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 2, but train them in all sort of variations, so the principle gets more clear.
Techniques
Syllabus
I suggest a simple system of 5 Kyu and 5 Dan or 8 Kyu and 8 Dan.
So that people don't get to impatient, we need maybo 8 kyu and 8 dan.
Examinations or tests for the next Kyu Grade can be taken after 3 months up to the 3th Kyu (total 18 months minimum).
- 2nd Kyu: minimum 6 months later
- 1nd Kyu: minimum 12 months later
9th Kyu
Beginners start with 9th Kyu.
