Lots of good info
You get the techniques and the katas and bunkai . You may not agree with all the bunkai ( applications of kata ),but you can’t fault them for trying their best with their interpretation of it . You get lots of good drills . I give this five stars because if you’re looking to learn wado Ryu or looking for ideas to teach it with more variety this will be a big help For the price , this is a steal , and a wealth of information . Also , the Indian girl doing the katas is a cutie imho lol .

Good video
Good stuff. I saw someone say that the lighting was bad, however I saw nothing wrong with the lighting. Maybe it could have been a little bit brighter but I could see everything fairly clear. You can also buy a digital version of it through their website if you want. personally I had hoped the DVD would also include the online download, however they don't include it. The DVDs cover common mistakes made as well and have good details. Some applications are used but unfortunately no freestyle. I don't recall seeing any jiujitsu being covered, which is one of the arts the founder had studied before creating Wado Ryu

Great, Please read
great overall, felt that using a low ranking student and placing her in a dark light. Good basic technique, but for black belt, there should have been more on fighting and pressure points, and more detail. Thanks for for doing a great job on filming.

Wado Ryu Karate Home Study Fun and Through
The Black Belt In You home study course on Wado Ryu Karate is one of the most complete and enjoyable presentation of this system ever recorded. It belongs in the library of every Wado Ryu practioner from beginner to Black Belt instructor. This series most certainly would have pleased, Hironori Otsuka, the founder of Wado Ryu karate.
