I am a practitioner of IUPA Uechi Ryu Pwangainuun Karate-Jutsu. The IUPA approach is an attempt to return to the self protection roots of Uechi Ryu as a close quarters combat system.
We are not associated with the Mainstream Uechi Ryu associations or practice of this martial art. Our approach is principle based not technique. No prearranged kumites or bunkai only intuitive fighting.
I’m planning some site software upgrades this week. The training blogs section will hopefully happen tomorrow, and the forum upgrade should happen Saturday afternoon.
The forums will likely be inaccessible during the upgrade. I’ll post here if the downtime is longer than expected.
