Can we please clarify the wado history. Otsuka sensei did not study ’shotokan’ but he did study with Funakoshi prior to Funakoshi’s Okinawan style became shotokan. He also studied with Kenwa Mabuni and Choki Motobu to develop a stronger method of attack for his wado ryu. Otsuka’s history is one of Shindo Yoshin Ryu, Yagyu Shinkage Ryu of long swordsmanship techniques and Toda Ryu of short sword techniques, his wado movements will reflect this.

Wado ryu is a Japanese style as distinct from Okinawa style.
