Instructor Amy Metzger is a sandan (third degree blackbelt) in Wado karate, Japan Karate Federation-Wado Kai. Amy has practiced Wado karate since the 90's. She started her training with Sensei Dale Lairmore, godan (fifth degree blackbelt) in Illnois and continuned with Shihan Sadaharu Kurobane hachidan (eight degree blackbelt) in Colorado.
From Amy:
"My first martial arts training was in judo- I hold a shodan (first degree blackbelt) in judo. Judo is great fun, but with existing shoulder and back issues, I couldn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. Wado karate emphasizes speedy, whip-like, motion, so you have to be relaxed in mind and body to perform well. It also depends less on big low stances and more on healthy biomechanics, so it's easier on the joints. Once you've reached a certain level, you can compete in tournaments, which brings you into the larger karate community and lets you test your skills. I had no idea that tournaments could be so much fun and so educational. I believe that there's a martial art for everyone. Maybe Wado karate is yours!"
