For those of you who are Jay Nussbaum fans (like me) and. . . for those of you who  are about to discover him. . . Now is the time to order his new book. I just finished my copy yesterday and must say I enjoyed it very much. Much of the action takes place in this "fictitious" dojo in Boston where Jay and J.J. (The hero of the novel) both studied during their law school days.
All martial artist (especially Uechi practitioners) will relate to many of the situations J.J. finds himself in. Maybe not those relating to J.J.'s very volatile "full contact" encounters with women in his life, but certainly with his dojo experiences. I highly recommend this book to everyone. GEM
Here is what others have said about Jay's book:

Tornado Hits Close to Home!
 Friday night around 10PM, Tia began pacing up and down the house, as though she was looking for a place to hide. Our Emergency Radio came on soon after, warning all Mount Dora, Eustis residents that a Tornado had been picked up on radar and was headed our way. We experienced strong winds and rain, but fortunately weren't affected by the Tornado. Many homes were destroyed but no lives were lost. |

This is a seminar you don't want to miss. . .
On the body there are a great number of accessible entries to nerve structures that will cause a loss of body control, reflexive actions and other disruptive affects on the body’s normal functions. Typically when attacking the body the results were based on mass, strength and condition, but when attacking the nerves these limitations are no longer as concerning.
This special knowledge of accessing the human anatomy is called Kyusho (Okinawan term for Vital Point). And as all nerves lay between muscle, tendon and bone structures the Art of Uechi Ryu maps and teaches the practitioner how to correctly target these accessible targets, rather than the supportive structures surrounding them. By using the pre-arranged training drill of Dan Kumite, this powerful knowledge is quickly and easily assimilated, yield much more effect and potential in your Art.
