Unsung Uechi-ryu Hero While I was president of IUKF, (International Uechi-ryu Karate Federation) I did most of the work involved with running the organization. . . And believe me, there was a great deal of work required on a daily basis. . . And when I felt that it was time to turn over the reins to...

Hi Glenn: Angel Lemus's death was completely unexpected. I've been attempting, unsuccessfully, to find out the cause of death. Let me know if you find out anything. BTW, my son Erik, is taking on the job of running the Forums, along with Cecelia. I'll be spreading the word with newsletters and posti...

Just a note to let everyone know that the Uechi-ryu Forums are back! I am proud and pleased to announce that my younger son, Erik, will be assisting Cecelia in regenerating interest and activity in our beloved Forums. His role will be to maintain law and order, by maintaining the rules established b...

Hi Glenn:
Many thanks for the forums update on Uechi articles in magazines. Hopefully you will continue visiting us here and help to revitalize the forums. I personally believe there will be slow rebuilding of this site as more and more people are leaving other social media.

What is Dr Bedard an expert at??? Roy Bedard is a professional consultant with over 20 years experience in the public safe...

Thanks

Should we leave it as-is or modify it to reflect forum's value as an archive of important and valuable past topics a...

With the popularization of Social Media, the need for the traditional Forums have been drastically reduced. Most of the martial art forums have disappeared and the few remaining have been relegated to archives of the past. However, even though I haven't been frequenting the forums very much, I do dr...

Interesting clips by Kanei Uechi grandchild. The link you posted comes from an application in the Konshin kata. The video shows a block and grab technique. It is, in my estimation correct.

We are busy re-building the old Forums and since many of you are stopping in, here at the "beginning", I wish to welcome you again. . . or perhaps for the first time to our all-new structure. Probably one of the most important feature of the Forums is the fact that I've not deleted any of ...
