SummerFest 2007

I never know who will show up, but the regulars can always be counted on to provide the “best of the best” material from all the familiar subjects we have come to appreciate and look forward to practicing.

My “core” Uechi program has taken on some new subjects while retaining all the important basics that my seminars have become known for. After so many years of trying to “pin down” the breathing explanations, I’ve become comfortable explaining it finally and after 50+ years, feel that the secret (if we wish to call it that) remains in Sanchin. In addition to my 6:30AM Sanchin on the Beach seminars, I’ll be teaching my “Flinch” kyu kumite drill, that was previewed in a forum clip a while back and has matured to something that should be of interest to all ranks and all skill levels.

By now, all you “frequent flyers” here on Uechi-ryu.com know, running an annual camp cannot happen without “you”. We need support from all the martial artists who practice and enjoy “crossing arms” with other players from other dojo and other systems.

This year we will once again have a full Uechi-ryu schedule; one that will keep all ranks busy and productively exploring the system. We are hoping that teachers of other systems will again be joining us to share what they are doing and in the process learn more about Uechi-ryu.

Of course, one of the main reasons people come back year after year is to meet new people and renew old friendships.

The only way the SummerFest formula can continue is:
