========================
Hi Jose:
My students have been "bugging" Books a Million for the past few weeks and were standing in line yesterday when the store assured them that the new issue would be on the shelves. I even got excited and drove over to purchase what I believe was their last copy!
You did a great job with the grizzly-old-man pictures you had to work with. Hopefully some of your readers will appreciate my view of traditional MA and will understand how important steady and healthful training is in what many of us practice and love.
Again, thanks Jose.
Best,
George

Superempi quiestion
Happy New Year Mr. Mattson Sensei;
I was curious as to if you could point me in the right direction to find out more about the Superempi kata. Has it replaced the Seichin kata as number 4? I was a little confused since I don't visit the forums anymore. Or is it just being called the fourth of Master Kanbun's that he brought back? As opposed to three?
Winter Fest sounds so incredibly exciting. I wish we were not so far away and hmmm financially challenged for things like that ;)
Your book looks gorgeous and I wish you extremely great success with it.
Thank you for your time, Sir;
Kerry A Morgan
Hi Kerry:
Trying to catch up on my email.
You can get the superempi dvd on the Uechi store. We have been teaching it for quite a few years and of all the Chinese forms we’ve seen and worked with, this one fits the required Uechi template to qualify as one of our kata.
At this time we just call it a Uechi-ryu “supplemental” kata, but. . . who knows.
Best,

From Bob Moorman's brother. . .
George:
Many years ago, back in the 60's, a troubled young man happened into your path and you took him in, gave him a place to stay and offered him Karate training; this person went on to become a black belt and opened a school on the West Coast in Encinitas, California-where you used to visit to certify black belt candidates.
This young man was my brother Robert Moorman, or affectionately known as "Bob".
Bob passed away about a dozen years ago, leaving behind a son, Ananda, who continues to live in Encinitas.
I wanted to bring up Bob's memory to you and to express my enduring appreciation for the profound influence you had on his life.
I can see from your e-mails that you remain the warrior that I remember, even as you and I both enter a period at least beyond three score and ten.
I invite you to put some of this in your newsletter.
And again, thank you Peaceful Warrior George.
