How do you pronounce that?

YES! I'M NOT ALONE IN THE WORLD!!!!! Okay, yeah, anyway, we pronounce it you-jay-ru (I use words to help me remember, but everyone knows how to pronounce ryu, don't they?)

Eugue-Ryu Karate Jutsu. I don't know any more than that, I can't get to the dojo til Saturday to find out anything more. And this school's name is Jukido-Kai Sogo Budo. Personally, I don't have a clue what it means.

Thank you. Well, I'm interested in learning more of this style and its history. As you learn it, I'm sure there are many that would appreciate you passing that on here. :)

Nope, Wapak, Sensei Shane Topp. We're just moving to a bigger one this coming week, we're all so excited, especially us teens. We're looking forward to not accidentally kicking the midgets in the head anymore. And yeah, you're pronouncing it more right than I am, I'm terrible at pronounciation in anything but english. Yeah, our kata go, in the order I know so far, though I don't necessarily know the exact order, I need to check....ichikyu, nikyu, Pinan Shodan, sankyu, then I don't know anymore for a while, then I know Nihachi (sp?) Shodan pops up somewhere, and there's Bokudan kata much later. I really need to get the that dojo! I'll find out more on Saturday, oh wait, hello, what an idiot I've been. Stupid Kieran, bad girl. My friend is a green belt, he knows loads more than I do, now where are my sticky notes.....

Dabbled in it for a while, a long time ago.

The instructor was a good one, and she gave everyone a good set of basics upon which they could build. Resources and facilities were very limited, but that didn't stop Sensei from being able to be an effective teacher.

IIRC, the kata that were taught were:

Ichi-kyu (white)

Pinan Shodan (white)

Pinan Nidan (orange)

Pinan Sandan (blue)

Pinan Yondan (green)

Naihanchi Shodan (green)

Pinan Shodan-no-bo (green)

Pinan Godan (brown)

San-kyu (brown)

Shushi-nokonsho (brown)

Bassai Dai (brown)

Bassai Dai, using sai (brown)

Kankudai (brown)

I didn't stick around long enough to see what the black belts were learning, and there weren't any senior black belts in the class, since those that did get to shodan were often times gone shortly thereafter (college, moving, etc).

If I had to guess, it would be similar to what was taught in Shotokan, seeing how a lot of the kata were similar, as well as the terminology and techniques used. My guess, is that the third bo kata would have been Shushi-nokondai, but again, this is purely speculation.
