That looks like one heck of a nice training facility Tony! Are you preparing to go into the ring Tony or are you just training to learn the the ins and outs of boxing? I never asked you so I'm curious as to whether you're preparing to go into like matches or anything? What do you guys do there on a ...

I just have to applaud the mention of Jack Summers cause he is one of my heroes and I hope to meet him in person one day since my teachers school is under the supervision of Jack Summers. I think Jack began training in like 1960 and my sensei began training in 1978. Jack seems like a great guy and I...

That Socrates hit the nail on the head with that one lol..

He'd get arrested for child abuse for saying those things about society today lol..

I don't know there are so many things to look at and so many ways to look at it. I always come back to believing in the system i'm training and trying to be the best I can be at the system I fully believe in. I want to be as skilled as I can become in Uechi while not being distracted and searching t...

I think as usual Mr. Giacoletti made some great points and offered some very intresting stories I also consider the humble side of karate and the kind side to be of utmost importance also. It seems at times when something is offered about self defense on the other end of the spectrum that Uechi-ryu ...

Just putting this out and I know Shinjo sensei is probably a very kind and humble man as most Uechika are but if there was any kind of fight and he was entered into the arena with any practicioner of any system I would put my money on Shinjo to crush any opponent into fine powder plain and simple in...

No disrespect to wonderful and dangerous Mauy thai fighters but I took a little tap with a tiger toe kick on the inside on my thigh and had a bruise from literally a tap from a trained toe. Now if I were hit with a hard roundhouse shin kick it would hurt for sure but I'm positive at least for me tha...

You're awesome...karate does begin and end with respect afterall..

Jeff

I think most importantly a dojo needs to follow the code of conduct for Uechi-ryu and whatever the sensei feels he needs to add to that code for the respect and legitimacy of his dojo.
