This has been a great thread Jimbo. Thank you. It makes me have to dust off the cobwebs of research done long ago. The internet helps tremendously because we have so many coming from different points...

Thanks I think Uechi is the most beautiful of the Okinawan arts and highly effective. I always believed Isshin Ryu is like Uechi personally.

Any and all. What are your conclusions on this happening not only in karate and Long Fist as Jimbo has heard but across all the Chinese...

Sorry buddy, I thought cool ass bragging rights for you.

The book Shogun comes to mind.

Jimbo maybe you are related to Choki .

I hope Ryans doing well. I think he contracted legionnaires disease. We had some cases here a few years back.

Jimbo . My sister. She had to do a report a few years back. I assisted her. Sadly much of the history was destroyed during WW2. I told her what I knew and told her to double check everything I say. I...
