Wado UK, based in Hull, are a group of Wado-Ryu clubs led by Mr John Moreton 7th Dan, an ex-All styles English international & GB World Championship squad member.
Due to the AMA's resignation from the English Karate Federation, we would like to make all Wado UK clubs and members aware, that AMA activities are now no longer available for our membership. Anyone attending such an event would be contravening statute 21.9 of the WKF rules.
Our key points are:
We accept any clubs who practice Wado-Ryu from any of the 3 styles of Wado that are now practiced in the UK, Mr Suzuki WIKF, Mr Shiomitsu Wado Renmei, Mr Sakagami Wadokai.
You will be free to practice any of the above without interference unless requested, subject to our rules and regulations.
We are a member of the Governing body and as such everybody will be required to be licensed and insured.
We adhere to the Governing body's policies on child protection.
We have a structured grading system please enquire for details.
All clubs have an equal vote on any issues that need voting on.
3rd Dan and above will be able to come on to the Technical committee.
Grades will be recognized as long as they are from a reputable source.
Grades not from a recognized source will be subject to re-assessment.
Maximum fee’s for grading’s are set and clearly published.
