	A Brief History and Description of Uechi Ryu
		Uechi Ryu is very much and open hand system and the only fists are pointed: Shoken (one knuckle), Hiraken (tiger paw).
		Uechi Ryu is a system that uses Sanchin stance almost exclusively because it is an in-close fighting system.
		I find the martial philosophy fits very much into the same philosophy as Hsing I Chuan -- "I may not throw the first strike but my strike hits them first." This certainly does NOT mean someone studying Uechi Ryu would provoke an incident or be the aggressor.

		First in uechi u do something called kotekitai(sorry if mispelled) whiich is body toughening exercises where you and a partner hit yourselfs in your legs, arms, back, stomach, and neck in order to toughen yourself up and be able to take a punch.
