ovine king Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 something that has been repeated by a great many people;there is a world of difference between learning to perform something, learning to do something and learning to use something. earth is the asylum of the universe where the inmates have taken over.don't ask stupid questions and you won't get stupid answers.

Goju_boi Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 well if you were unsatisfied with not sparring then if u do video training,your results will be pretty much the same.Unless you could find a buddy to train in those videos with u . As for Uechi Ryu,it's a form of Karate.I don't know much about it,but you could google it. https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairfax_Uechi Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'm in DundalkWhat kinda of style is Uechi? i've never heard of it. thanks for the info by the way.Well it looks like my reply to you from yesterday didn't post.Look up Shelly Dunn he's in your area. I think he owns a gym in the lower level of a mall in Dundalk. He used to (and may still) teach at UMd Balt. From what I understand he's now teaching out of the gym and possibly at the university. He's and incredible person and would be a good person to talk to even if you don't decide to study under him. But if you talk to him, I think you would want to have him as a teacher.If you can't find him, send me a private message or e-mail and I'll get his number from another source.As for Uechi. It's roots are from South China Kung Fu and is based on Tiger, Dragon, and Crane forms. It's a compact style with many grabs, circular motions and is "Half Hard/ Half Soft". It's one of the 4 Okanawan styles and very popular in New England, Michigan, Florida and California. There are large pockets of Uechi folks in those areas. We're starting to get a good group in the Mid Atlantic also!Most Uechi in the area is taught in Rec Centers or gyms, and I don't know of any commercial Uechi dojos in the Mid Atlantic. (but I'm sure as soon as I say this that I'll come across one or two)The Uva Uechi club has a good website as does George Mattson. You should find more info there.

Goju_boi Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Hey Uechi Ryu sounds a lot like my style of Goju Ryu except for the dragon and tiger forms.Do you know if both of these styles have the same katas?Or if the founders ever knew each other? https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The also both have Sanchin as one of the Katas. I think Seisan and Sanseru are also common. Uechi is based on 3 Kata brought from China, and currently has 8 kata. So I think the 3 are common to both styles. The other katas of each style aren't. Also we do Sanchin open handed and I understand that you do it closed handed (please correct me if I'm wrong).
