Hanshi Patrick McCarthy? Where to begin? This is part 1 of an incredible journey that continues to this day. I had an incredible conversation over a period of hours, he pulls no punches and he is passionately frank in his personal observations. But then, who could say he hasn't earned the right to articulate it?

Pre-Internet, AI, Social Media meant getting bruised ribs and bloody knuckles, travelling in search of a personal truth, cultures, countries, languages, customs at a time when the world was a lot less accessible.

He's run the gamut, more times than he probably cares to mention, changed minds and put a few long held illusions on blast along the way.

Fighter, author, researcher, Sensei, student and much more

Bringing together like-minded people in pursuit of common goals and celebrating empowerment, personal achievement & camaraderie through Koryu Uchinadi. A link to the past is your bridge to the future: Koryu Uchinadi's unique system of application practices is a pathway between kata and kumite. KU can also be learned/imparted as a provocative alternative to conventional methods of physical fitness and stress management. Learning how to respond dispassionately to unwarranted aggression requires self-empowerment. Such training promotes an inner-calm and, where conflict exists, helps restore a natural balance to personal and professional relationships.
