The Alliance of International Wadoryu is an International Governing Body, which was founded to assist Wado clubs and autonomous groups in order to retain and promote their own Wado system.

Our e-club was created as a place where ALL like-minded Karate-ka can feel at home and talk about anything Wado.

The History of AIWa and the AIWa Badge.
The name AIWA (pronounced 'eye wa') is made up from the initials of the Alliance of International Wadoryu (A.I.Wa). The initials are made from '(A)lliance of (I)nternational (Wa) Wadoryu. However there are also further connotations.

AI-WA also refers to 'Mutual Harmony', the ‘underpinning’ foundation and principle of AIWA. The badge, also originally created by Gary E Swift 7th Dan (and painstakingly 'computer-refined' by Scott Gawne 3rd Dan), represents the Yin-Yang (blue for yin and the white ‘side viewing’ dove the yang), which represents the ‘Ai’ (harmony) in AIWA. The Kanji ‘Wa’ represents peace.

The motto of AIWa is ‘Peace within Mutual Harmony’.
