Uechi Style: Uechi-ryu is a traditional style of Okinawan karate.
Uechi-ryu means "Style of Uechi" or "School of Uechi".

Originally called Pangai-noon, which translates to English as "half-hard, half-soft", the style was renamed Uechi-ryu after the founder of the style, Kanbun Uechi,[1] an Okinawan who went to Fuzhou in Fujian Province, China to study martial arts and Chinese medicine when he was 19 years old.
