    I noticed that there was alot of static posture testing to see if structure is correct!

    Uechi Ryu was my first Martial Art studied.

    The intense training has been paying me dividends ever since.

    Its also has a very South Mantis/Bak Mei/Wu Tsu Kuen frame without the Chinese power generating methods.

    Our ancestor trained with a teacher named Chu in Fujian at the turn of the century. Simple Hakka like frame with a few forms and many drills.
    Mouth Boxers have not the testicular nor the spinal fortitude to be known.
    Hence they hide rather than be known as adults.

    While the original TCMA that GM Uechi studied is translated as Pangai-noon, there seems to be a very big SPM/Dragon/Pak mei influence.
    I don't know if we well ever know the TCMA from which Uechi-ryu developed, but it is a facinating system.

    uechi ryu isnt missing the "special power generation". a lot of old fujian and zhejiang martial arts dont have any fancy power generation. lots of old styles use raw muscle power.
