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.
This is NOT an 'all-styles' panel of judges, who generally have no idea of what they are looking at, but a panel of highly graded Wado exponent purists. Also, every applicant will be assessed/graded on the authentic, legitimate generic BWF WADO syllabus.
All applicants must be from a traditional Wado lineage. 'Wado-based' groups will not accepted for Yudan assessment.
