Good morning (on Okinawa). A few new audio tracks have been posted. Nothing controversial, nothing that changes anyone's training or performance, just a few bits of general information... More to come. Sumako has renewed her practice on sanshin, the three-string instrument that sounds like a banjo. ...

NEW AUDIO SECTION ADDED! Hello Everyone, Sumako and I hope you are all safe and healthy. We'll all need our strength, patience, and goodwill to get through the social and economic crises that will come after this virus outbreak passes. A new page was just added to the Nagahama Dojo Homepage. Go here...

Hello Everyone, Greetings from Okinawa. A new section was added to my website. If you visit, go to "Supplemental Information" and you'll find steaming audio tracks are now available. They are not downloadable, so must be listened to while visiting the website. These are meaningful and info...

Hello Everyone. New text added to the Zankai website: ~~~~~ To talk about this style or training, please feel free to Skype me at Seizan01 . You can use the message service below or send an invitation via Skype with a short text, and we can arrange a time to connect (considering time zone difference...

Hi Folks, I just updated the entry on my site for guest students. I included a look at a set of possible training schedules for beginners through advanced practitioners. I've used almost all of them before. Go to https://breyette.wixsite.com/urzk-nghm-dojo/post/uechiryu-zankai-training-sabbaticals-a...

Hello Everybody, and Greetings from Okinawa. Lately, I have had some free time to web-surf several sites, and I am happy to see that a lot of my (actually, Toyama Sensei's) information regarding history, concepts, terminology, and other technical information has been used on many sites. In reading t...

Hi folks, The URL for the Nagahama Dojo has changed. In October 2018 the name changed back to Zankai (from Zankyokai) and is reflected in a new URL. Here's the site: https://breyette.wixsite.com/urzk-nghm-dojo There are a few subtle changes in the text, but it's still mostly a small site with some h...

PM for you...

Hello everyone, We recently published a website for the Zankyokai Nagahama Dojo: https://breyette.wixsite.com/zkk-nghm-dojo It’s not an extensive site, having only a couple of photos, some basic information about who we are, what and where we teach, a short history of UechiRyu, the training schedule...

This actually concerns a past event, but I guess the best place to ask about it is here... Did any reader here besides Mattson Sensei actually attend or perform in the 33rd Commemorative Demonstration commemorating Uechi Kanbun Sensei's passing? Can you recall (or did you record) the exact date of t...

PM for you...

Hello Fred, Good points. I am unsure of how one might legally (or otherwise) circumvent the copyright laws in Japan, but the rights to the book and its fine photos are with the Uechi Family. Rather than speculate on it, one might write to the Uechi Family or a senior representative, and ask directly...

Hi Glenn, Good idea but the appraisal fee plus commission would have to be tacked onto the final sales amount. In bookstores here, I have seen this go in generally fair to marginally poor condition, $1200 to $1500, with mars, bumps and bruises, annotations in the margins, pencil marks, dog-ears, no ...

This would be “good” to “very good” condition. Original box has a few minor marks. Tight binding, pages have no creasing, marks, or fingerprints. Original folder containing names and masters of all Okinawan Karate and Kobudo organizations at the time of publication is with the book. Spine’s cover is...

In view of its increasing rarity, what would you consider to be a reasonable price for a Kyohon in good condition?
