LOL. I probably wouldn't try sweeping you either.
"Don't understand why someone uses a sapu when he trains with us Wado karateka"
I take it you are referring to the back-spinning sapu you described, and not a simple sapu or sweep which resembles ko-soto-gari or de-ashi-barai (isn't de-ashi-barai used with effect in wado-ryu sparring?)

Wel i meant that if you go and attend a training in Karate, it is strange to start using other techniques
I never did, if I train with a school I try to do the same as the other students ( when in Rome...)
Going to the ground and trying to fight on isn't part of that
We had the same kind of thing with 2 kung fu guys, they started doing jump spinning backkicks but jumped strait up so didn't come close, then I did it but I throw my backleg foreward and then make a jump spinning backkick, I move foreware upto 2 m, , and they really had to move backwards, also stopped strait away
These people came to us not because they were thinking we were so good or just interested, no they wanted to prove how good they and the style/art they did were
I wasalways able to prove them wrong without having to hurt them
