I have attempted to do instructional video's pertaining to the Uechi Ryu curriculum. They are all on you tube under my name. This forum has been quite for a while now. Since I posted topics mainly concentrating on Uechi Ryu, topics have become hard to find. I have become very low - key. My awareness ...

Just a quick notice. My second book --"Child of War ll: Investment in Terrorism" is now available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Thanks ---Art

The longer I've been around, the less attention I want. The longer I've been around, the less fireworks I want to be around. The longer I've been around, the more I seek those that I want in my life. The longer I've been around, the more simple I wish it to be. The longer I've been around, the lower ...

I do not see many doing sanchin as I do. Please let me attempt to explain why I do a slower plodding sanchin. Unlike our other kata's, sanchin doesn't fire out of other stances into another stance and strike. It doesn't have angles and numerous turns involved. It simply is as much an exercise as it ...

What are you trying to get out of sanchin? What is it anyway? Why do we always hear of it's importance? Important questions I believe. My experience and study have given me sanchins meaning. I've explained it to M.D's without actually using the term "sanchin." I've used it in other athletic ways, in ...

paulg = Thank you for your input on this matter. You've hit it right on the head. I was on those test boards way back when. A closed test. Candidates and test board; that's it. No one knew the results at that time. Those needing more time were notified by their instructor later. Those not meeting ...

I've come back to this topic after a lengthy lay off. Simply because it's a sore issue to most. I even find myself simply going with the status quo. The BUSINESS of operating a school can weigh on many. To promote students is usually good business. We know that world wide. Even I understand this. We ...

I really do not know how many more posts I'll be doing on this forum. However, this is something I'd like to express. Because I've been around forever, I managed to absorb a few things. The many personalities in our teachers. The many ways Uechi Ryu is interpreted. We fall back on our traditional ...

What we should practice constantly in our training. What is very important to fully understand is this; fighting ability is not the question. I've gone over this before a few times. If we get right down to brass tacks here, and talk about taking care of our self, we have to do this. This, meaning ...

This is how I instruct sanchin. I go slowly while explaining sanchins highlights. Speed and power (hopefully) can be seen if done in this manner. This is simply my way of looking at sanchin. Practice it this way, or not this way. That is your right. If ...

This may be a good segment for this forum. I've covered just about everything I think. Maybe I can be of better use now with a Q & A thread here. Lets see what develops. --------Happy Trails -------Art

Here's the point again. With this subject, you simply have to be unprepared for the attack. By that, I mean to place yourself in a position where you can not prepare for the attack. Or to be close ( as in dan kumite) where you must work your block crisper and tighter. What is being tested here is ...

Priorities and adapting play a realistic role in training. As the decades fly by, you find yourself placing more emphasis on certain elements. You want to perform the way you always have. To do this, certain things have to be adjusted. This is what you work on. To be able to move and hit strong ...

On the money. In my humble opinion. I posted that I was through doing video's. Maybe I'll simply let you do it. I do want a picture of you, Donna, and myself for my 76th B-Day 12/14. Think I'll put it on my FB timeline. Get back safely.
