Sanchin Clip...!!!!!!

[Mills75]

Hello Dana tonight was the first time I was able to view your Sanchin clip that is on Rick Wilson's website which is very nice by the way.I have to say and not just saying this to be nice I thought your Sanchin was a thing of beauty.It is exactly the way I'm taught to perform it by my Sensei also and it was really awesome truly.I'm extremely impressed to say the very least and take it for what it is worth being I'm only a kyu rank commenting on a senior level Dan Rank but I was really in awe of how you performed the kata..Again it was a thing of beauty and I believe my Sensei would love it also because he teaches it just as you performed it.thouroughly impressed and cannot say enough about it..Bravo really...

Thanks
Jeff

Jeff,

Did you know Dana was Okikukai/Shohei ryu also?

Hi Jeff,

Thanks. I have to say that putting my clip online has been a great way to get feedback from lots of folks. Based on that feedback I'm working on:

using my front leg more
my overall core/body & leg strength (will eventually = more power)

and based on previous comments from folks who've seen me in person - my right arm tends to target wide.

So thanks for the compliments, and remember I'm a work in progress.

BTW- who is your teacher?

Yes Ben I had seen Dana was a member of the okikukai as well when i looked at the womens friendship tour and read about some of the things that happened while visiting our organization on Okinawa and it's many great masters which I enjoyed very much and thought was very cool also I had saw Mr. Kaisers Washington karate website which is very nice and saw the many great things he's done along with his personal bodyguard record and private security dealings.I also have had some of the instructors at our school mention Dana with woth some kind words as one of our instructors attended a meeting with Master James Thompson at the same time she attended I believe.I enjoy learning from all the people here like Dana and yourself also ben so thank you.


And Dana my Sensei is Dr. Daniel Rinchuse who is renshi rokudan with the okikukai and he I believe is taught by Jack Summers.We also have Mark Stevens who now teaches and trains at our school who is Godan who previously began his studies as a student of Charles Earle.here is the site if you wish to check it out.

I can't mention our school and my Sensei who I respect very much without thanking Sensei Gordi Breyette who is a friend of my Sensei and who I also count as my friend who has helped me to understand more about Uechi everytime I seek his counsel also so I would be leaving someone very instrumental out without also mentioning and thanking him and the Zankai organization very greatly..

thanks
Jeff

Jeff - you're training with a great group of folks.

I hope you make it down for one of Mr. Thompson's seminars. It's always lots of fun and good training.

Dana

Yeah Dana they are very good people I enjoy it and I do hope to make it down to one Of Thompson Sensei's seminars sometime that would be great.Your school and teacher is also a great bunch of people I'm sure Mr. Kaiser is very knowledgeable and he's another one of Uechi's interesting and skilled people like yourself.Right now i'm looking for a cable to my camcorder so I can download a sanchin clip I took at school to hopefully post here but by mistake I only got myself from the waist up for the most part but i'll still try to post it soon if i'm able.so thanks and hopefully i'll be able to get that clip up soon for feedback..
