Today I am incredibly excited to share my recent interview with Uechi-Ryu Karate 10th degree black belt, Grandmaster Bob Bethoney. Beginning his training in 1964, Grandmaster Bethoney has a rich martial art history. He is an acclaimed tournament fighter, with over 57 full contact trophies to his name. Sensei Bethoney also has a long history of practical performance through his extensive law enforcement career and has a full understanding of how the martial arts and Uechi-Ryu karate work in self-defense scenarios. In our interview we discuss his many karate experiences as well as his teaching mindset and how he passes on the martial way to his students during their training in his dojo, Bob Bethoney's Uechi-Ryu Academy - located in Hanson, Massachusetts. Please enjoy, Grandmaster Bob Bethoney.
