SummerFest Teams:

Based on my asking a dozen people to look at my new schedule and team lineup, this format looks like a winner! Anything else I've tried over the years is extremely complicated and is difficult for most people to understand. Check out "presenters" page, to learn more about some of the teachers who are teaching. Then visit the Team site and check out what team these presenters are on. The Team list is very general and broad enough to encompass most of our teacher's seminar material. The job of our Team Leaders is to make sure they have at least one of their team members on the field, teaching, whenever their team is scheduled.

It will be the team leader's job to manage and coordinate the Team and their scheduling, based on the times listed in the official SummerFest schedule. There must be at least one team member presenting a seminar whenever that team is scheduled to be on the field. (or giving a lecture)

Check this site frequently for program updates and course content.

============================================

The theme of this year's SummerFest.... "All is in Uechi-ryu"!

"Its in the system. . . It works and is most effective when the teacher understands and appreciates how the "core" system can be applied to whatever is needed."

.................................................................................Jim Maloney

"Core Uechi" and its unappreciated applications in sport karate, realist applications such as grappling, submissions, pressure points and techniques such as spear type applications.
