Based on the cultural fusion of Okinawan karate and Japanese ju jutsu.
Kicks, strikes, and punching methods, seamlessly integrate with joint
locks, throws, takedowns and pins. Wado Ryu is a brilliant combination
of methods, resulting in the development of a system of self defence
that is extremely practical. Sophisticated, elegant, and devastatingly
effective, as a self protection system it ranks with the very best.

Hoshin Birmingham & Solihull Trainng Group - HOSHINJUTSU
(Adults - over 16 - only)
Hoshinjutsu is a combative art based on American, British, French,
Russian, Israeli, Chinese and Japanese traditions that is continually
evolving through the skills and experiences of its teachers.
In Hoshin we do not train for tournaments but rather for self protection
and self development.
Techniques in Hoshin do not require great physical strength but rather
knowledge and manipulation of balance, pressure points and energy.
Hoshin emphasises development of the mind and includes study of basic
massage, meditation, psychology, physiology and anatomy within its
curriculum.
Sessions are friendly, relaxed, informal and participants are encouraged
to progress at their own rate.
