The British Wadokai 'Wado Cup' is the 'ultimate' in a champion, as it is open to 'all-comers' irrespective of grade, gender, and age (juniors, seniors, veterans). There will be a Wado-Cup for Kata and a Wado-Cup for Kumite. Additionally, just for juniors (Kumite), there will be the 'Junior Challenge Trophy', which is a junior-only version of the Wado-Cup in the Kumite event (for those juniors who may not wish to take part within the Kumite Wado-Cup); available only for those who are 11 & under. Both events are FREE as long as you enter at least one other paying event within the British Wadokai National Championships.

18/12/11
Open British Wadokai Standardisation Course Part 4 - Open to all levels.
Essential for all British Wadokai Brownand Black-belts who wish to grade, or Yudansha who wish to retain their grading privileges. Includes standardisation of all British Wadokai Tai-sabaki of Idori-no-kata (kneeling defences), Tanto-dori-no-kata (knife defences), and Mutodori-no-kata (sword defences). Instructor: Gary E Swift 7th Dan.
Venue: Tanbridge House School Gymnasium, Farthing Hill, Guildford Road, Horsham, West Sussex. RH12 1SR.
Time: 10am-1pm.
If time; Tanto-randori (Knife-defence sparring). Please bring Bogu (mitts and pads). Also, if you have them, Tanto (woodenknife), Bokken (wooden sword).
Price; £15.
Due to location, please also bring packed-lunch.
Please ensure you bring your BWK Attendance Card for signing/stamping. These courses are open to all students, as ALL the Wado syllabus is covered and standardised over the four-part courses. So, students wanting to grade for a future black-belt can start accumulating Standardisation Course stamps from when they first start training, if they wanted to, although these courses are personally recommended for 7th kyu & above. There is (or should be) no excuse for students who have not acquired the minimum requirements to grade for black-belt ranks (as they have from the day they start train to get stamps). Remember, all applications, which do not have the required training history, will be rejected due to inadequate training (Futanren).
