Karate in Okinawa, was transmitted from China to Japan by Master
Kanbun Uechi, faithfully preserving all its philosophy and the form of the performances. However, there are not many Masters who have such an impeccable and long career as
Gustavo Gondra, Karate and Kobudo 8th Dan, President of the
World Uechi Ryu Karate Do and Kobudo Organization, and one of the best
Referees of Traditional Karate at international level. He received from
Sensei Kanei the representation of the Style for Argentina, as well as the 4th Dan, and he was a direct student of
S. Takamiyagui, 9th Dan,
Y. Arakaki, 9th Dan and currently of
Sinju Gushi, 9th Dan, all of them Grand Masters of the original Association of the Style, whose president was
Sensei Kanei Uechi until his death. With him, we will study

Hojo Undo Bunkai,
San Chin Kata and
Kitae,
Kyu Kumite (prepared drills for attack and defense),
Se San (5th Kata of the style) and
