Wado Canada has published the definitive text on Wado kata as taught by founder Hironori Otsuka.

Wado-Kai Karate Kata is written by the late Top Master Masaru Shintani, 9th Dan, and Saiko Shihan Gregory Reid, 8th Dan, both of whom trained with Wado founder Hironori Otsuka and learned the fine points of the kata directly from him.

The kata in this book are described exactly as Otsuka Sensei taught them to his students.

“I look forward to the future when all students under my direction will use this book as a standard reference text,” said Shintani Sensei in a letter to his students and instructors. “This will allow students to train Wado kata exactly as Saiko Shihan Otsuka wished us to, and will honour his memory.”

The 360-page limited edition book contains more than 800 high-quality black and white pictures of Shintani Sensei and Reid Sensei performing the kata, and describing the fine points.
