So…. You want to study Uechi-ryu!

About 8 years ago I made a video tape that is still running on our Video Website. On this tape I predicted that web technology would soon enable teaching the martial arts on-line within five years!

Well, although the technology was available even before the five years prediction, few of the individuals who requested my help, had the computer equipment needed to accomplish this.

By 2005, most people who wish to either supplement their dojo studies or lacking a local dojo, actually progress through the ranks, enabling them to qualify for testing by a certified test board.

What equipment do you need to participate in this program:

1. A video camera.
2. Video editing program and the skills to transfer a video clip from your camera to a video file on your computer.
3. Web access, enabling you to either send video clips to me or to upload the clips to Google Video.
4. Ability to access the Eastern Arts' On-Line Learning Center.
1. Central Desktop currently supports the following browsers:
   Microsoft IE 6.0 and newer (download: Windows)
   Netscape 7.1 and newer (download: Windows Macintosh Linux )
   Mozilla 1.4 and newer (download: Windows Macintosh Linux )
   Mozilla Firefox 0.8 and newer (download: Windows Macintosh Linux )
   If you are using a Mac download Firefox for Macintosh.

   We are working on additional browser support. Stay tuned if your favorite browser is not listed.

2. Willing to meet on-line once a month for conferencing and video critiquing of lessons
3. Willing to practice as required to progress and achieve goals of program.
4. Outside of the USA, you must have a Skype phone connection. (its free)
