I live outside of Stockholm and unfortunately have no knowledge of any Uechi Ryu clubs. We train Shito and Goju in my club and the other club here teaches Shotokan.Maybe you could find an Uechi Ryu club via the swedish Budo and Martial Arts association?https://www.budokampsport.se/ The path so far: 2 kyu Karate (Shito-ryu), 3 kyu Aikido (Aikikai), 5 kyu Judo, 9 kyu Bujinkan Budo TaijutsuNot a day without a kata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayofaswede Posted September 5, 2022 Author Share Posted September 5, 2022 After a minor health setback in the beginning of last week, I finally could make it to and fully participate in this semester’s first club session on Saturday.Happy that my daughter wishes to continue training for another semester, we went together and had a great start.Among other things we did (some of these were only in the final advanced session) kakie, and trained getting inside a guard, grabbing the neck of your partner from behind. Katas we did were Gekisaidai shodan, nidan and Sanchin (the ”real” version with turns - that I still don’t know well enough to train on my own). Will definitely look into that more so I can add it to my training routine.I try to start and finish each solo kata training with Naifanchi shodan and Sanchin. So far the Sanchin is the short version, without turnsHope you are all having a great start of the semester. Train hard, train well The path so far: 2 kyu Karate (Shito-ryu), 3 kyu Aikido (Aikikai), 5 kyu Judo, 9 kyu Bujinkan Budo TaijutsuNot a day without a kata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayofaswede Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 I believe I just made an important discovery during the end of today’s solo session, as I was ending with two Naifanchi shodan katas as usual:”Everything should start from the center”Suddenly all I’ve heard about staying centered (both physically and mentally), using hips not arms, ”the whip” concept - seemed to make sense! Feel eager to start applying this new found understanding to more and more of my karate and to conflict resolution in the public school where I teach. To more and more of my life.

Feel eager to start applying this new found understanding to more and more of my karate and to conflict resolution in the public school where I teach. To more and more of my life. I love it when I have one of those "a-ha" moments, where things you've been learning just all come into focus. It's an awesome feeling. I'm glad to hear it that you're having them too!

sensei8 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Those Aha moments usher in effectiveness. For that effectiveness to mature, it must be seriously pursued with excellence, but that excellence has nothing to fear from observation. Train hard and train well. **Proof is on the floor!!!
