Wado Ryu Karate

We are a traditional Wado Ryu club. Our club's grading syllabus sticks strictly to that that was provided to us by the late Shihan Ritchie Noblett (8th Dan) RIP. 

Students will progress their training in traditional technique (kyu), combinations (renraku waza), forms (kata), blocks (jodan, geri, ohyo & kihon), applied technique (kissaki-kai) and fighting skills (kumite). Each of these areas are tested more thoroughly as a student progresses through the ranks of the belts.
