Traditional Karate

Karate Classes in Skipton

Wado Ryu Karate is a Japanese martial art, founded in 1934 by Grandmaster Hironori Otsuka. Wado Ryu is a fast fighting, scientific system and one of the most popular Karate styles practiced worldwide.
Wado Ryu karate is both faster and lighter than some other popular styles. Power is developed through the proper application of technique rather than muscular strength, making it suitable for both sexes and a wide range of ages and physiques.
Wado Ryu embodies the principle of tai sabaki – body movement. Using tai sabaki in Wado Ryu we avoid an incoming attack rather than meet it head-on. The uchi in Wado is more of a deflection/redirection that prepares for a swift counter-attack. This is quite different from the hard blocks and tram-line moves seen in other styles.
