It is very unusual for students to study a martial art for 30 years and more. But the martial arts taught at this school (dojo) fall into that rare category. Okinawan Karate runs deep. It appeals to the very young who quickly learn practical basics. As they mature, the form holds their interest as their practice becomes more subtle, more demanding and even a little mystifying.
This dojo traces its roots back to Okinawa and the original masters. It holds to the practices and traditions that were developed over decades by the original practitioners in China and Okinawa and maintains constant contact with their students.
This is a great place to exercise mind and body by studying a proven martial art that you can practice anywhere at any time for the rest of your life..

If you want to learn an ancient art that is directly connected to its roots in Okinawa this is the place for you. Uechi-ryu, when studied as an art, will help balance the physical, mental and ultimately the spiritua laspects of your life. Sensei Graziano's attention to detail and caring approach to instruction is a rare find. By the way, as a side benefityou'll be able to defend yourself too. The focus of teaching in this dojo, in my opinion, is on self-improvement, not just on self-defense
