 Darin Yee Seminar! Darin is visiting Central Florida this week and will conduct a two part seminar at the Mount Dora Community Building this Sunday, May 18th. The first session will be from 10am - Noon. Darin will be teaching "Winning Sparring Techniques", a subject he is especially familiar with. Darin has probably won more tournaments than any other Uechi practitioner - beginning with the early "bash and mash" events back in the 70s and 80s and continuing non-stop through the present time. Darin loves to compete and so do his students. Most importantly, he is very good at teaching the art of sparring. He promises that everyone attending his class will benefit from his unique and imaginative training methods. Following lunch, Darin will be conducting a fascinating class where he will be teaching and exploring the Uechi kata, using his background in Chinese martial arts to help explain the key elements of our system. The Mount Dora Parks and recreation Department is hosting this seminar, which will be held at the Mount Dora Community Building, 520 Baker Street, between 5th and 6th Ave. Cost for both sessions only $20. (call 321-273-0409 for information)

Of the millions of people who have participated in the martial arts since their inception in the United States in 1948, only a few have had a measurable impact with the general public...and Joe Lewis, 57, the retired World Heavyweight Karate Champion from Wilmington is one of them. Dubbed the "Muhammed Ali of his sport," |

Vinnie  Christiano to lead the "Hut" workout this Saturday!
And you are all invited to attend! This is Vinnie's last workout before he gets his new hip, but he assures me that everyone will not only enjoy the class, but will get a great "Vinnie-tough" workout! Paul Giella, who heads up the "Hut" program, says that. . . "Vinnie is planning to really reinvigorate us with his energy before he goes out for his surgery. Van, Peter Blackman, Fedele, Matt Hoffman, maybe Justin are coming… it should be quite a good class. 9:30 to 11:30. We'll be working on the new Okinawan kata, Ryuko, among other things." Don't miss this class!
Susan reports that we are receiving a record number of early SummerFest applications. This year's event is coming together very nicely, with nearly all of the senior presenters who have taught seminars in the past, planning to be with us this year. Please send in those applications early! Don't miss out on this really great Uechi-ryu experience.
