Wado Ryu

Wado Ryu is a style of karate founded by Hironori Ohtsuka in 1931, combining Jujutsu techniques with karate. Wado Ryu emphasises evasion or deflection of attacks rather than meeting them head-on. It utilises light, quick techniques with counter-attacks either occuring simultaneous to or immediately following the block.
