	Wado Ryu Karate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Wado Ryu Karate is a combination of Okinawan karate and Japanese classical bujutsu (in particular Shindo Yoshin Ryu Jujitsu).
		As a style of karate Wado Ryu is lighter than the Shotokan style of Funakoshi, incorporating movements and thinking from jujitsu and kendo.
		This gives the karateka the opportunity to examine the efficacy of their arsenal against, for example, judoka or thai-boxers, with the result that free-fighting tends towards ‘efficient’, rather than ‘pretty’ techniques, although control is paramount at all times.
