Wadō-ryū Karate had BONE CRUSHING TECHNIQUES

[@combatsportsarchive7632]

6:15 - 7:30 This is why there are newer yet more liberal formats like Kudo's ruleset and Kyokushin Budokai's 'All Round Fighting' so that Karate and Judo practitioners can spar to practice other techniques which aren't common in sportified rulesets. What's ironic is that Okinawan dojos used to wrestle in Tegumi since their childhood and practice Kake Damashi (free sparring) before their arts got altered and exported to Japan before 1920s.

[@craigleadley2472]

Nice video - those locks and throws are still trained in wado - there are drills called ohyos and khions that incorporate them. You probably know, but some of your footage was of tatsuo suzuki not ohtsuka. Szusuki's timing was beautiful to watch. Cross training judo really helped me understand some kata movements. I just wish I'd started judo when I was young - I found it too rough on my saggy old body 😂

As a young man I taught Judo in a Karate school. Since I was in the AAY I couldn't get money but I got Karate every night and an interesting group of us combined Judo and Karate with every scenario we could think of.

I am a black belt in Wado-Ryu Jujitsu Kenpo (Karate). I am glad to see someone explaining that Wado is a truly hybrid martial composed of Shotokan Karate and Shindo Yoshin-Ryu Jujitsu. I hate it that Wado has become "hop and pop" sport karate these days. Once I was awarded my black belt, I decided change the name of my school back to what Ohtsuka Sensei originally called his, "Wado-Ryu Jujitsu Kenpo", and then went back and started expanding my knowledge of the jujitsu that is found in the Ippon Kumites which are highlighted in the video and what truly distinguish this art from other forms of karate. Jujitsu (Tachi Waza and Ne Waza) is now what I teach primarily in my classes in order build the proper base of knowledge in case my students want to learn more about Wado as a whole. In my opinion, if one just studies the Ippon Kumites, then he is well on his way to becoming a very good jujitsuka.

[@michaelphelan2671]

What kind of black belt in Wado-Ryu Jujutsu Kempo if you think that it is a hybrid of Shotokan and Shindo Yoshin Ryu? It is absolutely not Shotokan, the techniques are vastly different - teni tentai tengi, nagasu, inasu, noru, soresu...all fundamentals of Wado-Ryu that separate from Shotokan.

[@geoffreydale9234]

You mean Kihon kumite or Ohyo kumite surely??? Ippon (one full point) kumite, is a new one on me and I've been in Wado since 1998!

[@creepshow4109]

It’s good to see crossover of techniques between systems. I trained in both isshinryu and shorinryu karate (Okinawan styles) for some time. The grappling techniques showed in the video here were also present in my training in both of those dojos. Granted, we didn’t practice these techniques all the time. More “old school” karate seems to have a lot of content.

[@rhythmandacoustics]

Old karate, old ju jitsu, kendo were all from the same root anyways. All of the grappling was due to samurai armour and you need to kill the other guy fast by immobilizing him and stabbing or slithing his throat.

[@randybowman]

For armbars to work you don't necessarily need the leg on the head. You need to pin them though so to speak. An easy ish way to do that is by pinning the head which is why that's how most people do armbar. You can even sorta triangle the shoulder of the arm that you're barring if they clear the leg off of the head for example. If you dm me I'll make a little video or something when I get a chance.

[@TheDeltasteve]

Exactly, was about to say the same. If you want to break a joint, you need to isolate the joint above that joint, in case of an armbar you need to isolate the shoulder. If it’s a wrist lock you need to isolate the elbow and so on. As you say, foot of the top leg can be like a pillow, if the other leg comes over the shoulder and you triangle so to say.

[@RomanPeacock21]

O Sensei Otsuka was a Master of Shindo Yoshin Ryu before he learned Shotokan from Funikoshi himself in Japan. He was one of the very first black belts. So Wado is Shotokan, plus Ju Jitsu.

[@Chadi]

Yes

[@BFW1]

Это больше мотобу рю + джиу джитсу

[@anatanonamaeto]

He was issued a licensein Shindo Yoshin Ryu by a friend, because he had been banished from his original JuJutsu school for fighting with other styles, which was taboo back then. Modern Wado mistakenly claims he was a "Master" but the current Headmaster of that school of Jujutsu will tell you the real story if you care. He makes a decent portion of his living teaching Wado practitioners how to do the throws they are supposed to know how to do.

[@epramberg]

Sorry to contradict you on this, but Wado is not Shotokan. Otsuka left Funakoshi because he disagreed with Funakoshi's approach. He went to Okinawa to train with other masters, among them, someone who Funakoshi despised: Choki Motobu. Motobu humiliated Funakoshi by beating him in a match, and, as it turned out, stole one of his top students. Wado's most important kata, Naihanchi (sho) came from Motobu Ryu and Wado's Kihon Kumite more closely resembles Motobu's two person sets than anything in jujitsu. Also, Wado's most basic techniques (junzuki, junzuki no tskomi, gyakuzuki, gyakuzuki no tskomi, tobikomizuki, and nagashizuki) do not resemble Shotokan techniques. I can see why many people think Wado is Shotokan with jujitsu sprinkled in, considering the publicized history, and the fact that all WKF athletes from all karate schools basically look the same, but Shotokan is only one influence on Wado, and its significance varies depending on who you ask.

I was wado ryu then changed to judo so appreciate this video a lot. Just about the competition at the end, the rules are in line with shotokan and other karate styles. It is that style of sparring that turned me away from karate and towards judo. It is nice to see the old set moves again, if i remember right they were called kihons and were all about timing and minimum evasion as in boxing

[@pullinside9]

If you're interested in the actual relationship between Wado Ryu and Jujutsu, I highly recommend the book Shindo Yoshin Ryu History and Technique by Tobin Threadgill and the late Shingo Ohgami (8th dan Wadoka). Lots of accurate, detailed information.

I find your historical videos fascinating and addictive. Every time I watch, I get to witness nuances in mechanics and technique that are so usable in real combat.

The juji-gatame at the end, it works if the uke is pulled down while he's not completely flat on his back. Otherwise, you're right, it wouldn't work. There's much more grappling, ground-work and ju-jitsu in wado, as they have Idori Waza, Tanto Dori, Gyaku-nage-no-kata, Joshi-Goshin-jutsu, etc. I would suggest you to look for the current Soke, Kazutaka Otsuka, especially the things he filmes with Tatsuya Naka from JKA and Budo Videos Channel.

[@1234567leeeeeee]

The Sensei in the first clip is Tatsuo Suzuki. In his formative karate years he trained 10 hours a day! To the point where he couldn't even eat without getting sick. Not recommending this but one can see how polished and embodied his technique is. Well worth looking at other video footage of him on youtube. Thanks for the video

[@ShihanMason]

I trained for several years with Tatsuo Suzuki in London and joined him for seminars when he visited the USA. Many of the Wado practitioners I've met in the US were not familiar with the Kihon Kumite or Ohyo Kumite that Tatsuo San was teaching. Since Ohtsuka Meijin passed away in 1982 I've been teaching my version of Mugendo (Mudokai) founded by Meiji Suzuki (like Tatsuo San a direct student of Ohtsuka Meijin) and Petar Mejic. I still include versions of the Kihon Kumite and Ohyo Kumite in my curriculum, along with Te Tao Waza (counter attacks to punches) and Keri Tao Waza (counter attacks to kicks). Additionally I include Nukime Waza (escape techniques) to counter grabbing and holding attacks. Wado uses shorter stances that Shotokan to allow for Tai Sebaki (footwork techniques), and Ohtsuka Meijin cut a lot of angles and abbreviated movements to gain speed and make Wado especially quick. Meiji San was a Judo champion in his youth, so I also teach the sweeping and throwing techniques he taught me. His sweeping skills are legendary.

[@Patrick-sheen]

I practiced Wado Ryu for many years and now I do BJJ/MMA. It always surprised me how unnatural the stances in other Karate styles or Muay Thai were in comparison. It is a very natural stance from which to enter into takedowns and grappling, sweeps etc, and in many ways it is THE stance that has been adopted by most MMA fighters in recent years. It is clear that this was the thinking by Hironori Otsuka. The points fighting is miles away from what we trained 20 years ago, sparring was always 30 mins at the end of a 2 hour brutal cardio session and, of course, punches were pulled, but no padding, bone on bone kicks and punches on hardwood floors. Before that in the 70’s/80’s it was pretty much full contact sparring, many of our instructors with funny noses and smashed up teeth. Just one correction: The balding Japanese man at the start of the video was Tatsuo Suzuki 8th Dan who was Hironori’s student and brought the art to the UK and Ireland, and to my understanding Europe and further afield. Indeed, he, and a couple of other students were sent by Hironori to spread the art outside Japan..incredible when you think about it. He also studied Kendo and Judo in his youth. Hironori is seen in the first knife defence video.

[@jasonh6048]

Hi Chadi, in BJJ we'll finish the arm bar quite often with the foot under the head like a pillow and the other leg heavy down on the chest with the knees squeezed. It shuts down the hitch hiker escape where people run out of the armbar.

Hi Chadi! I am Maharaj, from India. I have been practicing and teaching traditional Wadoryu since 2008. Thanks for uploading about Wadoryu. Basically, Wadoryu is a mixture of karate and jujutsu. Meijin Ohtsuka learned from Funakoshi Sensei and Choki Motobu Sensei. He learnt Shindo Yoshinryu style. So we have Idori Waza in our syllabus too. The sword and knife lessons are also there. Yagyu and Toda Ryu styles were the ancestor arts. I really like the jujutsu part of Wadoryu. Meijin said, If Wadoryu was a soup, then the Karate part of Wadoryu is lesser than a pinch of salt. So the Ju柔 part is the phenomenal one. You can find more in the punches and kicks as well in Wado. Nowadays, it's becoming too sporty... I try my level best to train and promote the traditional Wado. Thanks for the upload... Peace and harmony, Sensei Maharaj 😊

[@georgedavidson5789]

I trained in a modified style of Wado Ryu with BKG karate dojo under Shihan Isaac Henry Jr, who studied Wado under Master Michio Nozumi (a direct student of Otsuka Sensei), we practiced Jujutsu as a separate part of the Wado kicking and punching techniques, I trained to the nidan level in this system, and now I am studying Jung Ki Kwan Hapkido which is based on Daito Ryu akijutsu, and now I am discovering how it fits into the Wado katas and is a integral part of the way Okinawan karate was practiced in the old days!

[@DerrickPsarosninjatech]

We do not always block the head with a ground armbar. Seoi Hayanada in Danzan Ryu is done by controlling the arm with both feet below uke with he left shin against the side of the head rather than over the face.

[@MateoFalconi-z4k]

finishing an armbar without the leg over the head is possibble. you can have the leg under the head but you will have to control the far shoulder, think thats why he crosses the feet near the far shoulder, and this basically locks his upper torso into place. Alteratively you can do it by isolating the near shoulder, for example triangling the near shoulder as someone said in the comments below, but this has to be tight, because they will be more able to lift their upper torso and change the angle of the arm to alleviate pressure to the elbow joint. For the armbar with one foot/shin close to the armpit as done by the judo guys in the video, you need the other leg over the neck or face or shoulders otherwise there isn't much stopping the oponent from lifitng his upper torso besides the clamping of the legs on the arm being attacked.

Hello Chadi, I really like and appreciate what you do in your videos. In regards to the arm bar not pinning the head, I am a black belt in Danzan Ryu Ju Jutsu and we have a technique like that. It's called Seoi Hyanada. It's seoi nage and then we just kneel down with the knees and shins on either side of the shoulder pinching the arm. Then just sit back and apply the arm bar as you normally would. Works just fine in real combat (I went to Iraq and had to use what I know on occasion). Check out the old 33mm reels of Professor Okizaki in Hawaii for more on what we do. Hope this helps and you get to see some of my studied arts as well! Keep up the fantastic work!

@Chadi thank you for looking at Wado-Ryu but just to flag that the videos you have used are mostly not Hironori Ohtsuka but Tatsuo Suzuki performing his own Ohyo Gumite, which are not part of the original Wado syllabus (they start from an attack and were developed for kumite practice). Suzuki Sensei was a senior student of Ohtsuka and club captain at the University club; he came to the UK in the mid 1960s where he remained until he passed away in 2011. However you do have some footage (the older man) of Ohtsuka training with his son Jiro Ohtsuka the second grandmaster.

[@dominicrossitto5890]

Wado-Ryu Karate was actually labeled as a style of Jujutsu early in its existence, and "Wado-Ryu Karate-Jujutsu. It also places an emphasis on speed and Sabaki, or body movement/body management. Another great video, thanks again.

[@Patrick-sheen]

The concept of Sabaki I learned in Wado allowed me to apply it to other arts that come from the Japanese line: Aikido, JJJ and even BJJ. It’s something I’m sure that exists across all martial arts but it is always taught explicitly in Wado.

Eddie bravo had his system no gi and the rubber guard.. but they still all call it bjj..even tho Eddie bravo isn't doing things Royce Gracie was or does still teach but.. they still call it Brazilian jiu-jitsu.. where its more like catch wrestling.. the Gracie's are the only ones to learn judo from a Japanese judoka .. then say they invented the guard and leverage and there own martial art.. they were doing kosen judo 🤷

As a wadō practitioner this isn’t so much old vs new. Wadō is both karate and jujutsu elements, it’s a fundamental part of the ryū. though some Wadō organisations put more emphasis on it then others, the three biggest wadō-ryũ organisations are JKF wadō-Kai, WIKF wadō-ryū and Wadō-ryū renmi. Both WIKF Wadō-Ryu and Wadō-ryū renmi put a big emphasis on the jujutsu parts. WIKF also adding the Ohyu kumite series of drills which are focused on sweeps and throws. Wadō-Kai has a bit but less than the others. In most wadō dojos you will spend a lot of time on the floor, doing pair work, holding joint locks and doing takedowns in regular practice. Though this partly depends on the dojos floor or if they have access to mats. But for competition then yes we mostly compete with other karate styles, which don’t have the jujutsu elements. So if you are going to train for kumite competitions it’s going to be based on the ruleset of the competitions in your area. That is for most of the world going to be WKF kumite rules. Which has very restrictive rules against grappling and takedowns. And don’t allow joint locks or joint manipulation at all if I ever correctly. So most wado techniques except a few sweeps isn’t allowed in those rulesets. But atleast in the many decades I’ve trained in many wadō dojos in Europe, you just use WKF rules for completion trainings. If you are just doing free sparring in regular practice a lot more techniques are allowed, it’s a bit harder contact, continues and no point system. Basically you aren’t allowed to hit people inbetween the legs, no strangling, and you know not kill eachother. Otherwise there isn’t much else. All wadō techniques with just a few exceptions are allowed. And of the people who trained under Ōtsuka (the founder of wadō) this is how wadō have commonly trained kumite in regular practice both before and after the war. So regular practice kumite and competition training are different for most wadō dojos. Though there probably are some sports oriented dojos that just do WKF competition rules only for regular practice too, I haven’t seen it at the dojos I’ve been at, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the more kids oriented ones might take that route.

[@bobronsons5780]

It's all about geometry - angles and forces with Juji-getame. The reason why we don't lock the head in like that is because it is illegal In Judo, used to be a part of it.

[@bobronsons5780]

We cover the head to prevent an obvious escape route. no other reason. But also, by squeezing the head that way (there are other techniques), you force them to look a certain direction limiting their range of motion. Grappling is about sparring, you would know these things if you rolled around 4 - 5 hours a week, that's not a lot to ask tbh

Karate also had a form of grappling brought from Okinawa but when it arrived in Japan and then mixed with those guy's martial arts, it became a wonderful thing, very powerful and a kind of mixed martial art as it has been happening to all martial arts when they have to give a solution to a problem they have had. Master kanazawa said people should separate the real karate (an art of defense) from the sport we see today. My sensei insists on keeping on practicing throwings coz it is part of karate...Bravo!

Sadly it is becoming increasingly difficult to find schools that train karate contextually. One of the pioneers Sokkon Matsumura sensei traveled and studied in China as well as in Japan with the Satsuma clan. It is known that they certified him to teach Jiggen Ryu kenjutsu but it is very likely that he was also exposed to their Yoshin Ryu Jujutsu. A lot of this stuff like seio nage, uchi mata, arm bars, hip throws, and other techniques do show up in the kata which is often is not trained efficiently. If one wants to make these techniques functional the best bet is to cross train karate with styles that specialize at each of these components.

WW2 itself might have had an effect by killing off a lot of masters and advanced students. That's what happened to Savante with two World Wars happening in France, most of the highly skilled practitioners were killed fighting because the majority of fit men went to war and French territory was a meat grinder. As well a skilled martial artist is more likely to sign up even when there's not conscription.

Hi! Can You making vídeo about shito ryu style pls?

[@Frreezing]

wait so whose knees are being harmed? the one doing the takedown, or the one receiving it?

[@kwaichangcaine4930]

La perspective de judo est un excellent point de vue. Par contre, l'ancien Karate Wado-Ryu, l'originel, ne se résumait qu'aux 9 premiers katas. Je ne crois pas que maître Otsuka aurait été fan de techniques aussi dangereuses.

[@rubenlopezcuriel4550]

Well is not a thing of the past, WADO really is Kempo-karate-jujutsu Wado ryu, and jujutsu teachings is still there, only wen is for tournament they need to observe the rules of competition, my first martial art was Wado ryu, and in the 70´s rules was more permissive, we do sweeps, sccisors, and stuff like that, and remember that other school teachers dont like to see its students fall, they say is to dangerous.

[@joesphruggiero3707]

Luv the stuff but jiujitsu has many thumb grabs finger twist

[@chadindayishimiye5280]

😂😂this guy is called chadi like me

[@OniMishima]

There is ground grappling, joint locks and throws in Okinawan karate; but you don’t learn it until you’ve at least obtained Black Belt. Wado Ryu is basically Japanese karate ( Shotokan ) fused with Ju Jitsu techniques. Which is nothing new in Okinawa. Wado Ryu is NOT Okinawan.

Chadi, nice video. Still I have to correct you at some points. When you were talking about the judo throws. You took footage of Suzuki sensei, who held also a belt in Judo. It was from a demonstration, so it is not necessarily in the curriculum of Wado. When you sweep a leg with the weight on it, it is a gari, when you prolong the step, or the leg is unweighted, it is a barai. Kote Gaeshi is not a wrist twist. It is bringing th underarm back, as you can nicely see in the Aikido footage. When doing juji-gatame. Old Ju jitsu put the leg/foot under the head in order to break the neck. This was omitted from "Sports"-judo. You do realize that all the karate styles watered down their techniques in competition....it is like Suzuki sensei said, in the 1950s and 60s you could tell what style a person was from his fighting...but sports karate is totally different than style fighting. Sticky hands is still practiced in any Goju dojo, but you won't see it in Sportskarate, so the same as for Wado.

[@craigleadley2472]

Everything shown in this video was in the curriculum for my wado club.

[@IndomitusEsports]

Hi, many of the karate styles got this movements, it's a lie that karate is just striking.

[@blitzthekraken9832]

My son has a black belt in wado ryu. The funny thing is they do a lot of ground work. The techniques are don different, but A lot of people don’t know that. Years ago, I wanted to try BJJ at the time, he tapped the class out. The professor was irritated. He asked what he did and my son said karate, and the professor, are you sure you don’t mean Judo? No karate? - we just found a good sensie that taught the martial Art right. That is all.

فيديو جميل جدا بمقارنة التقنيات للمدارس القتالية. بدأت بممارسة الكاراتيه وتابعت مع الجودو ووجدت تكامل بينهما. حاليا امارس رياضات قوة الرمي.

[@bintarochan]

Thank you always for the great content. I had totally forgotten about this school of Karate! Just want to correct the traduction of "Kote gaeshi". Kote means forearm, and kaesu is "turn" or "return". So Kote gaeshi means "Turn the forearm". On the other hand, Sankyo in Shodokan Aikido is called Kote hineri, with hineru meaning "twist".

[@Yeino]

Le Wado n'est pas vraiment du Karate, mais du Jujutsu Kenpo. Ce sont les occidentaux et les compétitions qui donnent l'impression qu'il s'agit de Karate.

[@SuperShynobi]

Mi sembra ovvia la cosa.

[@St-lan]

wado in the uk is nothing to be desired , the best wado was when sensei TORU and suzuki sensei were teaching in england .. nowdays,no sensei l have seeing is near qualified nor knowledgeable in the art . some sensei are hard up ,conducting courses and learn nothing ,like sensei's vickerman fat students with no dojo etiquette. our wado ryu was far more technical and sharp than today's garbage lessons .
