Uechi-Ryu.com

I heard there are two uechi-ryu schools in the HRM, is anyone here from either one of them? I have been out of martial arts for about a year and half but I would like to come back. I took goju-ryu karate in the past, which I've been told is similar to uechi-ryu. What I liked about goju was its emphasis on redirection as opposed to direct hitting and blocking. Some of the other schools I've tried were not as "gentle", and I'm small; so to make a long story short, I prefer a side step to a block
Having said that, is there someone from Hali in uechi-ryu that I can talk to about those particular dojos?

I've not been in Halifax or Nova Scotia since 75 so don't know if this list is up to date or not, but here are some contacts for Nova Scotia:

Its been a year or so since I have been back there..but Sensei Paul Ross teaches Uechi at Sensei Ron Fagan's dojo twice a week I think.
Sensei Ross is solid when it comes to form.


Also try Sensei Bailey's - http://www.dartmouthuechiryu.com/

Good list Laird ( just noticed this tread) not sure if Clay or Louie are actively teaching but the contact numbers are active regardless. I recommend watching a class of each and pick your flavour as Uechi NS is far from "templated" (good thing). No brainer on the South Shore though... pick Victor as I "teach" on Thursdays
