A report by Peter Hill
The fourth national Wado Academy squad training of the year took place on Sunday 11th September at Sensei Arthur Meek’s full time dojo in Bridgwater, Somerset. Nearly thirty Wado Academy members attended including some young members attending for the first but hopefully not the last time! Continue reading »

This year’s Wado Academy Annual Championships will bring something different and exciting.
As well as the normal tournament for UK Wado Academy members, there will be another highlight where an international head to head event will bring England, Norway and Italy together in what will be some fast and furious action.
It will be a great chance for all spectators and budding international competitors to come, watch and learn.
To support the event, I recommend all clubs, even if you are small and maybe not be bringing any competitors or spectators, to purchase some tickets as all proceeds will go towards the expenses in running the competition.
Click below to download flyer to print for your club or distribute.
The Wado Academy office will be closed from Wednesday 24th August for approximately 3 weeks. I will try to get all paperwork in order/posted beforehand. Should you have any requests in the near future, please let me know as soon as possible.
Many thanks

You can see some photos here. Not many taken this year unfortunately.
Well done to all that came to this year’s summer course in Lymington. It was another great event and yet again the sun was out for us.
Maya does have next year’s dates but they are only provision as the sports centre is changing management slightly. She won’t get official word until October so hang back from booking accommodation just yet.
We definitely must organise one or two social events next year. Maybe there could be a BBQ at the nearby camp site that many people have been staying at, the White Hart looks an easy place to meet seeing as it is by the roundabout near the sports centre.
I will put up more photos soon.
