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.

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
Maya
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.
At Gleneagles.
The latest Wado-Ryu Karate-Do Academy national squad training took place recently in Farnham, Surrey on Sunday 17th July. Around thirty members attended from all over the country and it was really good to see Joe Bale of Budo Juku back with the squad after his considerable time in Japan.
After the warm up with head coach Peter Hill 6th Dan, assistant coaches Matthew Soanes 4th Dan and Riaz Ahmed 3rd Dan took over and put everyone through their paces with the kata Chinto. After a short break all three assistant coaches Leeroy Ellis 5th Dan together with Matthew and Riaz taught various kumite skills and drills. To finish the session quite a number of practise matches were held and this also allowed for some referee and judges practise.
Many thanks go to Corin Pegden 3rd Dan and his dojo for hosting the session and to Glyn Curtis 1st Dan for the photo.
Sensei is busy in Hungary but has asked that I make this post.
All,
It is with the deepest sadness and regret that we must inform you of the passing of Suzuki Sensei in the early hours of Tuesday 12th July 2011.
The Funeral has been arranged for Friday 22nd July at 10 am at the South London Crematorium Rowan Road London SW16.
Let us remember his life and not his passing.
Eleni Labiri – Suzuki
