Wado Ryu Karate/Jujutsu is the third book by master martial arts
instructor, Mark Edward Cody. This volume explores the origins,
techniques and kata of one of Japan's most traditional martial
arts. This is the first book to examine all seventeen kata of the
system and is one of the few existing texts written by a native
English speaker. Unlike other works on the subject, kata movement
is explained in precise detail. The reader is given clear,
systematic instruction in the direction, execution and technique of
kata movement. Cody chronicles the traditions of Wado Ryu in light
of the necessity for innovation and combat effectiveness in the
propagation and evolution of ancient fighting systems. Wado Ryu
Karate/Jujutsu embodies the ancient martial principle to "Absorb
that which is useful." Hironori Ohtsuka created the Wado system by
blending the best aspects of Shotokan Karate with Shindo Yoshin Ryu
Jujutsu. Following the Founder's example, Cody draws upon his
knowledge of Filipino Combat Systems and other arts in his analysis
of this Traditional Japanese Fighting Art.
