Warwickshire Wado-Ryu Sport Karate Association

Warwickshire Wado-Ryu Sport Karate Association Karate club based in Warwick and Kenilworth. FEKO registered. Established for over 35 years! Ages 6+ Dave was a senior instructor and secretary to the AMAA.

The Warwickshire Wado-Ryu Sport Karate Association was founded in the late 1980’s by Dave Powell after the Amateur Martial Arts Association (AMAA) was disbanded and its member groups went their own ways. The Association is a affiliated to the Federation of English Karate Organizations, F.E.K.O., which in turn is a member of Karate England and recognized by the Sports Council as the governing body

for all the martial arts in the country. Each of our clubs is a Karate England registered Dojo. All students wishing to train with us will require a F.E.K.O. licence to give them not only insurance cover but also their passport to karate and grading record. Only F.E.K.O. licence holders can attend F.E.K.O. organized competitions, gradings and other events. The style we teach is Wado-Ryu however incorporated in this are the latest ideas and methods of karate with the best of the traditional disciplines. We practice the more exciting sport karate sparring method and self-defence disciplines. The traditional Wado style is not diminished but added too, including the best from other martial arts styles and boxing. The semi-contact method was adapted to the sport karate style we now have, it is a faster more interesting fighting method. Traditional training is still equally as important especially Kata. It is an ideal sport for men, women and children (6 years minimum), whatever your personal aims or level of fitness are. Training is fully supervised with no hard contact. Don’t forget, not all karate instruction is by a recognized instructor in a registered club. All WWSKA black belt instructors are F.E.K.O. and Karate England registered. Students all start at white belt and progress from 9th kyu (red belt) up to 1st kyu before preparing for 1st Dan. On average gradings take place every three months up to 4th kyu (purple belt). From 3rd kyu (brown belt) gradings will usually be between five and six months depending how often the student trains. The grading exam can be held at any of our clubs.

One of the benefits of doing karate is maintaining general fitness! This type of stretching is called PNF, meaning that the student is either assisting or active in the stretch

Learning how to fall correctly is important not just for self defence but in everyday life as well!

When we start students on sparring we always break them in gently as some can be quite nervous, whilst some can be maybe too eager! 😂

Practicing movement for sparring! Compared to other styles, Wado is all about being light on your feet

Some real life self defence scenarios (however unlikely they are to happen to you!)
