	Wado Ryu Karate 1 review
		Wado Ryu karate is one of the largest and most influential styles of karate in Japan.
		Wado Ryu, more conservative and much less commercial, did not do as well even though qualified and talented teachers were strategically located in the U.S. Nonetheless, the following it had was energetic and loyal and therefore, the founder of Wado Ryu karate, Hironori Otsuka, made fairly regular visits here.
		At the request of, and assisted by Yoshiaki Ajari (the leading Wado Ryu instructor in the U.S.) he gave a lengthy private demonstration of the basic techniques, kata, and fighting techniques of the style he founded, which was professionally recorded on 16mm film.

		The principle of peace can be seen quite distinctly being applied in the physical aspects of Wado-Ryu and indeed this is what made Wado-Ryu a new and unique style of Karate-do, a style that specialized in body movements designed to avoid attacks.

		The aim of Wado karate is not merely perfection of the physical techniques of self-defense, but, the development of a mind that is tranquill yet alive, able to react intuitively to any situation.
