Public School Students Monthly Classes

The purpose of studying Uechi-Ryu is to develop the karate devotee into a healthy, well-coordinated person, both physically and mentally, and to train the person to master the defensive weapon art. The karate devotee must always be on one’s best behaviour, taking a modest attitude toward others, setting great value on courtesy among people, tidying up one’s dress, being careful of one’s speech and actions, and being diligent in one’s study. The karate devotee must not be a nuisance to others by using harsh language and committing violence toward others, even if one is under the influence of unnatural substances.

The karate devotee must not bring disgrace even in a slight degree on one’s own school (Uechi-Ryu) and one’s self by making tasteless and shameful utterances and actions. The karate devotee must not be self-centered and must not run to the easy and idle life. The karate student must make a constant effort to continue hard work enabling him or her to fill the mind with the vigor of life.
