​British Wado Federation (BWF) Fully Regionalised
All aspects of the British Wado Federation are ‘fully regionalised’, including Technical implications (courses, etc.) as well as Judges for the Regional BWF Yūdan Shinsa. The BWF Regional Chief Examiners & Technical Directors include Gary Swift Hanshi covering the Southwest, Michael Rapley Renshi covering the South/Southeast and Michael Ilderton Renshi covering the Northeast. Each Technical Director will be responsible for their own Region.
As from June 2018 ALL ASPECTS of the BWF will be regionalised under these (and more when available) Senior Yūdansha. All courses requiring senior BWF Yūdansha are also under the control of the aforementioned BWF Regional Senior Instructors.
