The New Uechi-ryu Book - I want you in it!
I am publishing a new Uechi-ryu book and I want you to be a part of it!
This is an exciting time! I was getting ready to publish my personal Uechi-ryu book and I decided that this idea is too exciting to keep to myself!
I want your inspirational Uechi-ryu story for a new book, a book meant to help promote Uechi-ryu around the world!
Will you be part of this unique project?
Let’s collectively share our personal Uechi-ryu related stories for all practitioners and prospective practitioners.
You don’t have to be a master to be part of this; trust me, I’m no master! Your rank doesn’t matter, this isn’t a book about techniques - it’s a book about people like you and I who are passionate about Uechi-ryu Karate.
Your association or affiliation is not an issue either- if you study a system stemming from Uechi-ryu, you’re qualified!
What better way to help popularize Uechi-ryu around the world than by telling others how Karate has impacted our lives? This is the best motivator of all!
I want to share with you how Uechi-ryu changed my life, and I hope you will share your story for this book as well.
This will be a printed book - not digital; but paper - and will be available in bookstores.
Keeping in mind that this is a printed book; I can only accept submissions for a short time. The formatting and printing process will take a bit once the book is compiled, and any artwork will need to be sorted out.
Here’s what I want you to do:
- Send me an email saying that you’re in on this project, with a time-line indicating when I can expect your essay to arrive via email.
- Once it is ready you can send me the text either as an email or as a Word file. Okay to include any photos that you would like to share with the global community.
- Please include your full name, dojo, closest town/city, and contact information.
- I may have to edit for length, however I do hope to avoid ‘trimming’ if at all possible. I will clear all editing with you before publishing.
This book has a specialized purpose and focus. I ask that contributors keep your topic related to how Uechi-Ryu training has made an impact on your life and the lives of those around you.
I am absolutely overwhelmed with excitement about this, I think this is a great way to commemorate the passing of Kanbun Uechi Sensei 60 years ago this November.
Kanbun Sensei dedicated his life to passing on the system he taught; let’s do our part as well!
Once you have emailed me letting me know you wish to contribute to this hard-bound book I will keep you notified as to the scheduling, compiling, publishing, etc.Send your email now
to editor@uechi-ryu-journal.com letting me know that you want to be published!
