Self Defense Techniques

Our school teaches a variety of self defense techniques (goshin waza). The techniques have come from many sources both internal and external to Wado Ryu as well as Mr. Jones’s and the other instructors’s personal experiences.

Self Defense Belt Requirements

The following table lists the self defense techniques that are required for each belt ranking. If a numbered technique has multiple lettered variations (e.g., 40A and 40B), then all of those variations are required for the associated belt ranking.
