Patrick McCarthy Hanshi discussing the principles upon which Koryu Uchinadi is based.

“..all fighting arts are fundamentally the same because of their common self-defense orientation and shared holistic nature I believe that, in principle, stylistic variations are merely different way of delivering the same message; the message through which to develop life protection skills, condition the body, cultivate the mind and nurture the spirit. “Many paths lead up a mountain but only one moon is to be seen by those who achieve its summit,” the principles of self-protection remain constant, as should the importance of understanding them be perennial.” ??
