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
