The emphasis within Devon Wado-Ryu Karate-Do Kai is and always has been to adhere to the deeper meanings of Japanese Budo and to ultimately study and benefit from a lifetime of dedicated study and practice in an honourable, loyal and sincere way. We do not consider ourselves to be a "competition" dojo, in saying that our group do compete at all levels of competition keeping this aspect separate from our normal training and classes. We believe and know from experience it can bring many benefits for younger people in particular, if done in the correct manner. For well over the four decades, members of our group have had an incredible amount of success both as competitors and as officials at all levels of tournaments including at International level both throughout Europe and in Japan.

Jukaren training is also organised with the next session being on Monday 4th May 7.00pm - 8.00pm at the Castle Community Centre & Gardens, Torrington, Devon EX38 8AA. Ji Yu Gumite is part of the grading syllabus for 6th Kyu & above with Jukaren training being vital in creating the standard of Ji Yu Gumite needed for grading examinations of all levels.
