WELCOME

Beginning in 1996 the Wadoryu Karatedo Kenkyukai was established in order to
 
follow the way of Wadoryu as founded by Otsuka Hironori in 1934.


We are based in South Brent, Devon and train on Tuesday evenings.


Training consists of:

Kihon waza (basic techniques)

Renraku waza (combinations of basic techniques)

Kata (pre-arranged forms)

Yakosoku & Kihon gumite (paired techniques)

Ji yu gumite (free sparring- non contact)


Correct etiquette and discipline are predominant in order to 

ensure good character development, respect and safe and 

courteous conduct within the Dojo.



All are welcome, whether you are a beginner or have trained in 

Karate or Martial arts before. 


Juniors are accepted from the age of 10 upwards.  


Beginners are taught Dojo procedure (club rules and behaviour), 

the fundamental principles of Wadoryu movement and the 

techniques required for their first grade.

Higher graded students are shown more progressive movement

and advanced techniques along with their application.



A strict code of Martial art ethics and morality is adhered to and taught in order

 to ensure proper understanding of what is being learnt and practised.



The instructors at our Dojo have personal indemnity cover and are fully qualified, 

first aid trained and have undergone police checks (CRB/DBS). 

 



The principal theory of Wadoryu is to foster harmony 

and to avoid confrontation.
