Sensei Mark will soon be on his way to visit the birthplace and global epicenter of Uechi-Ryu Karate. This will be his fifth time visiting Okinawa, with he and Sensei Connie making their first trip back in 2003. The visit will focus on training and cultural exchange and, if all goes well, a huge promotion for Sensei Flynn in the classic Okinawan art.
Sensei Mark has consistently practiced Uechi-Ryu since May of 1982, taking time out only for injuries and illness. He has also cross trained in several different martial arts, ultimately making lifetime commitments to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai Kickboxing, too. In 2012 he was promoted to 7th Dan or 7th degree black belt in Okinawa, and is now well past the minimum requirements for leveling up again.
Senseis Mark and Connie are committed to providing the highest quality martial arts training instruction possible. That means learning techniques, strategies, and standards from some of the best resources in the world, and passing that on to their own students.
Sensei Connie will remain in the Berkshires this time due to the current demands at the dojo, but is planning on making the trip again soon.
Safe travels to Sensei Mark!
