Began Uechi-Ryu in Tampa, Florida in 1966.
 
I am a student of Jiteki-Jyuku (7th degree).
Jiteki-Jyuku is a traditional Okinawan Martial Art with Pangainoon and Uechi-Ryu as its roots. It is instructed by 8th degree black belt, Master Frank Gorman in the United States and Master Ken Nakamatsu in Okinawa.

  Additionally, I am a student of Master Shinju Gushi (9th) in Okinawan Kobudo  Ryukokaku Ken Association. My rank is 3rd degree in kobudo.

Looking forward to seeing you this year at our Mount Dora Florida Marital Art WinterFest.
