Important rules and
information I wish to thank you for attending
this, the most important Uechi-ryu event of the year The
Festival has evolved into an annual gathering of martial arts
friends, a time to share experiences, training tips and
techniques . . . a time to focus on the pure enjoyment of
"working out"! There are no politics at the camp. Regardless of
the style, association or origin of your martial art, you are
welcome here. We are only interested in your willingness to work
together in friendship and in the "Budo" spirit demonstrated by
Grandmaster Kanei Uechi during his lifetime and especially
during his visits to our Summer Camps. The Maritime Academy has
proven to be a wonderful host for our camp. In our seven
previous events at this location, they have allowed us a great
deal of freedom, while providing the essential services needed
for a successful weekend. In order to maintain this
relationship, please note the following rules:
In-house Phone Numbers:
Non emergency: 1025

To
