Aim for higher standards News
|
The preservation of the old-style Uechi-Ryu karate-do does not only rely on accurate instructions during the teaching, it requires stringent standards in training, both teaching and learning. I aim for higher standards in my kōhai so that they will always achieve a standard beyond their current rank level. I request my kōhai to demonstrate skills at Shodan level while [s]he training for Ikkyu ranking.
It is my responsibility to spread and to preserve the ancient art in Malaysia. At this time, I am already working on a kōhai to set this standard. She is preparing for her Ikkyu ranking at Shodan skill level. During the launching of Bukit Beruang Dōkōkai on Sunday, another highly potential kōhai has been identified. In fact, every kōhai are potential in my eyes. It is only a matter of how serious they take their training.
I hope all my kōhai will persevere with utmost persistency to train for setting high standards in their training and health and look beyond the capabilities they have never known before. I look forward to set Uechi-Ryu Zankai Malaysia at the highest standard in karate training in Malaysia, surpassing others.

Dōkōkai Soft Launch News
|
Malacca: The Okinawa Karate-Do Uechi-Ryu Zankai Malaysia marked another remarkable milestone by launching Malaysia Shibu Dōkōkai or main Malaysia branch at Bukit Beruang,Melaka this morning. The Malaysia Shibu Dōkōkai is also named as Bukit Beruang Dōkōkai and led by Adrian Hoe Senpai. More than 40 people including parents and students attended the launching.
The soft launch was opened with training. All students were training with full spirit for the first time at the shibu dōkōkai. The training was followed by kyu certificates awarding ceremony for students from Jasin Shibu Dōkōkai and SMK Ayer Keroh Shibu Dōkōkai. The launch ended after the light lunch around 1PM.
A proper hierarchy, methods and system of administration were also announced this morning according to traditional Okinawa Karate-do culture. We believe Uechi-Ryu Zankai Malaysia is the only Okinawa karate-do in Malaysia to totally implement the old and proper traditional way of Okinawan karate-do dojo administration and hierarchy. Uechi-Ryu Zankai Malaysia is also the only Okinawa karate-do in Malaysia to follow the correct and true old Okinawa traditional methods of issuing kyu certificate. Uechi-Ryu Zankai Malaysia is also committed to teach old traditional training methods and to preserve Uechi-Ryu training passed down from Kanbun Uechi Sensei through Toyama Sensei and Seizan Sensei.
After explaining our traditional training methods and non-contact (non-free) sparring methods and the medical implication and the risks of sparring, parents are rest assured of their children’s health and safety in Uechi-Ryu Zankai’s training. They support Uechi-Ryu Zankai’s non-violence approach and growth-oriented traditional training methods. Parents offered help to open more classes and to recruit more students around their residence and work areas. A great start and confidence for Uechi-Ryu Zankai Malaysia!
