Subject: RE: [USRKUSA - Deshi]  2006 Annual Black Belt Workout and Dinner

Greetings Hanshi, Kyoshi, Shihan, Sensei and all deshi,

 

Arigato Hanshi for leading yet another Great Event in the history

of Ueshiro Shorin Ryu Karate USA.

 

Arigato Sensei Dan Gobillot and Sensei Pat Moriarty for hosting the week-end.

 

Arigato Kyoshi’s Baker & Seeger for your administration of the test and Sensie Mackay’s

“hands on” execution of the event.

 

To all the deshi of Northhampton you have a very sacred dojo, I am always re-newed

with a sense of spirit and direction leaving your Pine Forest Dojo just off Pine Street.

 

Coincidence?  ….I Think Not.

 

Irony I cam home and put my new Ueshiro Karate DVD in the DVD Player

And there I am sitting on the deck waiting to test for my green belt some 25 years ago.

Demonstrations on the DVD by Kyoshi Baker, Kyoshi Seeger, Sensei Mackay, Sensi Garcia

And Sensei Kaplan all of whom were present and on the deck in Northhampton.

And of course Hanshi leading the the event just as he did this past week-end.

 

I then went to our web site and read the Letter From Hiro Ueshiro to us the deshi of Shorin Ryu.

If you have time… please take a read as we prepare for Virginia, August 2007!

 

Arigato, Sensei Barnes

Shihan/Denshi Bushi Dojo.
