HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025

On this first day of the year, I extend to all of you my best wishes for 2025, wishing the very best for you and your families.
2024 has been quite an eventful year, filled with many classes, travels, and encounters.
The Uechi-Ryu Oryukai community of practice continues to grow, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have such motivated and enthusiastic students.

Last month, we opened the The Institute of Uechi-Ryu Karate (Uechi-Ryu Kenkyujo) to allow isolated practitioners to continue their training.
Until now, we only offered a distance learning program in French, but it is now also available in English.

The year 2025 promises to be very exciting, with major events such as the Winterfest and Summerfest (USA), the visit of Masters Shimabukuro to France in May, and the IUKF seminar in Germany in September.
So many opportunities to meet and train together.

Wishing you once again a wonderful 2025!

Lionel
