I did Wado Ryu karate for 12 years (got my 1st black belt and everything) - it's a synergy of the punching/kicking moves of more trad styles of karate (e.g. Shotokan - don't do it, it's shite) and the grappling, holds etc of Jiujitsu. The good thing about Wado Ryu is that it's also designed for scrawny little toerags who can move fast and have good balance but very little strength like myself, who otherwise would have no chance in another martial art that is more based on strength or weight.
