Passbooks....

Subject: IUKF membership

Sensei,

I have got my new IUKF passport in the mail with my IUKF membership. However I do not know how to get my rank info and other stuff (like summer camp participation) etc. added?

I am hoping to join you guys in camp this year, although I have to admit I haven't had much chance to practice my uechi *blush* since I moved here to Michigan.

Hope all is well with you guys in sunny Florida,

With fond regards,
Susanne

Hi Susanne:

Good to hear from you… My but you move around a lot. When are you moving to Central Florida? J

The passport book information should be filled in by you and initialed or signed by a senior hosting the event or your teacher who promoted you. I’ll be very happy to sign your summerfest participation this year! J

Best,

George

Tenn. dojo??

Mr. Mattson,

Firstly I must thank you for a lifetime of dedication to Uechi-ryu. I was a student in southeast Alaska in the early 80's learning Uechi-ryu from my science and shop teachers. (Both black belts) Unfortunately, I left Alaska just as I reached brown belt status. My life continued on at that time going no further with karate. I had a family, and no knowledge of another Uechi-ryu school anywhere. Internet wasn't around then, so that knowledge wasn't available. I have searched your site, and haven't had luck finding a school close to where I live. I was hoping you may have an idea of any black belts close to where I live? I live in Northeast Tennessee, Johnson City Kingsport Bristol area. If you may know of anyone, I would be eternally grateful. I would love to get back in and further myself.

P.S., red cover final edition of Uechiryu Karate Do # 126 just arrived in the mail this morning. I have no need to open it, as I still have my 1983 gold cover edition. I am very happy to have gotten on of the last books though.

I hope to hear from you soon about a possible teacher in my area.

Thanks again, Mike.

Visit to Kevin Brice's dojo

Sensei Mattson,

Photo for you of our recent visit by your students - Patty and Tim Dando.

Great fun was had by all. (We also worked hard too)

Glad they came to visit - we enjoyed having them.

Hope for a future trip to Eustis in not too distant future!

Best,

Kevin

Hi Kevin:
My students really enjoyed your visit as well. GEM

Seth will be at SummerFest..

Sensei,

After many years out of the country, I'm back in the United States and I'm probably going to be able to attend this year's summer camp. Looking at the Web site, though, it's not clear if I can register online. When I click on the register online link, it takes me to a page listing what's included for the fee, but there's no registration form nor is there a link to one. Should I register by mail with the PDF?

Hope to see you in July,

Seth

After reading about your world travels, looking forward to seeing you at SummerFest. Hope you will be able to conduct one of our "Under The Tent" discussions! GEM
