News and Upcoming Events:

  • Please note the changes to the schedule for the summer. There is a Ninja class each morning during the week and a kids class. I've moved the yellow belts into the white belt classes. There is also a change in the red belt & Jr. Black Belt classes.
  • The Uechi group has re-established the tournament series. They all fall on a Saturday :
    • October 4th Manny Neves, Plymouth
    • Noveember 15th Len Testa, Brockton
  • We now have Yoga with Kyoko at the Stow Martial Arts Center.  Kyoko will be teaching on Tuesday mornings from 10:45 AM to 12:15 PM and Thursday mornings from 6:30 AM to 7:45 AM.  The cost is $100 for eight-class pass (good for 12 weeks) or $15 for a drop-in class.  You can contact Kyoko by email, info@yogawithkyoko.com, or by telephone, 978-266-1052.  She also has a website:  www.yogawithkyoko.com.
  • In order to help the red belts prepared for their Jr. black Belt test, I have put a Jr. Black Belt & Red Belt only classes on the schedule Mondays through Thursdays from 6:00 pm to 6:45 pm.  Please come to as many of these classes as you possibly can. 
  • Saturday's schedule has changed!
    • The Saturday, 10 AM class for a single belt color is being dropped because of the lack of people taking advantage of the class.  So, the 10 AM class is now open to all ranks again. 
  • George Mattson's Summerfest next year is the second weekend in August.  It will be his 50th Anniversary for Uechi in USA and 25th Anniversary of the camp.  There is an attempt being made to bring the Uechi Family here for the event.  I encourage people to attend the camp.
