I thank you all for the imput> My purpose was to open exchange of ideas for mutual benefits.

I have practiced chinese kenpo since 1995 and would not mistake it's kata for Uechi. I have been practicing Goju ryu as long and don't see the similarities to Uechi kata, I have not seen Simon performing ...
