UECHI
Karate is a secret KUNG-FU martial art derived from ancient Chinese Pangainoon Kenpo. A tiger, crane, dragon system,
UECHI teaches
in-close fighting, utilizing circular blocks, grappling, and concentrated
counter-attacks as a practical way to defend oneself. UECHI is taught
as a disciplined defensive art form, rather than as a competitive sport.
The application to daily life is of prime importance where "everyone who
studies wins." Our integrated physical and mental exercises will
improve health and develop strength, flexibility, power, coordination,
balance, speed and stamina.
You will join practice sessions that are safe and enjoyable. Our moving meditation exercises will empower you to regulate stress, improve concentration, focus awareness, instill confidence and master serenity.
Men, women and children of all ages learn self-discipline, self-confidence, improved concentration and non-violent conflict resolution. Our classes provide a positive mentoring environment for everyone. Children, in particular, develop a "can do" attitude while maintaining respect for others.
