Hi. Does anyone know of any Uechi-ryu or Shohei-ryu schools in the WIlmington, NC area? My wife and I are heading down there for a week and April and possibly relocating there in the not too distant future.

Thanks for any info that you might have.

Benzocaine,

What you are doing is exactly what my wife and I are hoping to do some time in the next 8 months. The market is slowing down here so we are hoping for a good buy. I am a contractor so I can do much of the fixer upper type work myself when needed and hope to raise value via sweat equity ...

Also, other, more acrobatic styles such as some types of kung fu or tai kwon do don't really suit my mindset ...

As a teenager there was a Uechi teacher in my town that a couple of friends of mine were learning from and that got me interested. The teacher was Ron LaBrie and the the student I am referrring to is Bob Spoon. At that time, I trained for about a year and a half and them I could no longer afford to ...

Thank you for your kind welcome Mr. Glasheen.

I am not too familiar with the more psychologically/situanally based books but look forward to reading more of them as time goes on. For myself, reading helps me to intellectually understand concepts amd through understanding to begin to internalize ...

Hello everyone, this is my first post although I have been reading them for a while, and as I am sure that I am quite junior to most of you so I don't wish to presume but here are my offerings.
