Hachidan (8th Degree Black Belt)

2025 Kudan (9th Degree Black Belt) Candidate

I started training as I always was intrigued with Martial Arts and I was at a point in my life when I could made a commitment. In most important things in my life commitment is important in my life. Uechi Ryu has helped me get through a lot of ups and downs in my life-always having a centering effect on me.

The training I do with my fellow students and the great attitude everyone has-has created such important and strong friendships in my life. I am forever greatful that I met Buzz Durkin and he started me down this important path of my life.
