		Uechi is the first thing I have ever done that combines physical and mental exercise in one activity.
		I am one of many Uechi students who have studied virtually the same lessons as generations before me. I feel connected to the past and as though, by my participation, I have become a part of the history of the art of Uechi.
		I may have started my study of Uechi because I thought I ought to learn self-defense, despite my true lack of understanding of what such study would entail, but I have continued my study because of the benefits and satisfaction I enjoy.
