That's Milford Brand in a few of those pics I believe; his son sent me those photos years a go to help pass info on about his father's experiences. Beautiful.
Great pictures. I studied Uechi Ryu when I was a kid. Unfortunately for me due to financial and health issues I was not able to keep going to the dojo but I kept practicing what I learned to this day. Now thanks to RUclips I can keep learning. Thank you for this video.
I am 55 years old man born in Naha Okinawa, Living in California since 1988. Thanks for the share, Master Seiyu Shinjo was like my uncle. Missing old days
Hello Katherine, thank you so much for this video. My father and his buddy are in several of these, and some of these pictures I have not seen before. It takes me back in time in a wonderful way.
These pictures are amazing! My grandfather Julius Scott was training at the Shinjo Dojo during those same years. Do you possibly have files of these photo scans you would be willing to send me? There were very few black people learning Ueichi Ryu at that time and there is a very large chance that my grandfather is one of them pictured in your video. As I type this I am currently in Okinawa training Ueichi Ryu as well. I would greatly appreciate being able to have and save some of these moments from my family's history.
I'm looking at some old photos from the dojo that I scanned and there is a possibility that you may be in these as well! In my pictures there is a group of people sitting around a couple small tables and there is only one female in the group.
I do remember Julius Scott and have a few pictures of him in the dojo I will send you if you tell me how I can do that. Yes, I am the female at the table.
Katherine, I live in Okinawa and train at the Shinjo Dojo. Seiyu Sensei’s son was a teenager in your video, and remembers you well. We discussed this video at his home last week. I would love to get in touch with you if possible.
Great photos
Many thanks!

Thank you. Studying Uechi-Ryu Karate has a positive and enduring effect.

Very cool! Quite a man.
Great photos! Thank you.
Much appreciation for this. We are the same generation and similar experiences. I am your karate "cousin" (Gojuryu). Great photos!

What a wonderful historical accounting! Greetings from Minnesota Uechi Ryu Kenyukai!
I started Uechi Ryu under Sensei James Thompson September 1985. I practice weekly (not daily like I used to). But where I live now there is no dojo.
Keeping your skills alive. Are you the spark to start a dojo near you?
Please post more of these old school photos! A true treasure
Excelente video. Voy a compartirlo en un grupo de Facebook de Uechi Ryu.
I always knew you were a bad a$$, thanks for sharing

I would be so grateful for that. Would email possibly work for you?
