The British Wado Federation Yudan Assessment Panel (YAP)
This is an 'optional' facility for British Wado Federation Association/Group/Club Members who wish to have an independent & impartial Wado Examiner/Panel for their own students or senior graded yūdansha (including Chief/Senior Instructor) progression.

All applicants must be from a traditional Wado lineage. 'Wado-based' groups will not accepted for Yudan assessment.
