Welcome to the member page!
June, 2024 We recently had a promotion party for Spencer Bright, Michael Newman and Douglas White. Promotions in the Karate are important. Each promotion is valuable. One obtains rank, an obvious result, and sometimes includes a title, an important characteristic. Then there is the matter of motivation and purpose. This serves the need for accomplishment and more importantly, motivation. This is powerful. Motivation feeds discipline. Discipline is the cornerstone of the serious Karate student. This is the true value of promotions.
These men have accomplished something very valuable.
The Green belt - NOT a beginner
The Black belt - NOW a student of Karate!
The Shihan - a Teacher!
Build on these promotions and you can accomplish almost anything! For real!
Stay tuned for good news from Uechi Ryu Karate Seattle!
Some resources are for Pavesi Dojo members only, like the Student Handbook and organizational videos. We all know that YouTube is public and full of videos, but careful, it’s full of junk too.
Not a member? That’s OK. Send a message to Sensei Pavesi if you have questions regarding Uechi Ryu.
In memory of our good friend, Nick Bibich, 4 Dan, 1956 - 2020. Nick was always excited about training and would always help if you asked. A devoted family man and Karate man. We'll always remember our good friend, Nick.
In memory of our good friend, Paul Yo-ag, 2 Dan,1957 - 2024. Paul and I were friends in Okinawa in the 1980's and he trained with Sensei Kanei Uechi at the main dojo in Futenma. We met and trained in Edmonds Community College in 1991 and 1992. And again in Seattle since 2018 until his death. Paul was our good friend, always excited about training, always helpful to other students and a devoted family man and Karate man. We will always remember our good friend, Paul.
