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.

Syllabus
