Nago-san,
On a film I have of Kanei Sensei he is seen wearing a red belt. This film was taken during his performance at the Budokan up on the Mainland. I can't fix the date (late 60's? Early 70's?) but will try with a bit of research.
I didn't see a red belt in UechiRyu before or after that particular event (maybe he wore it only for that performance?).
Not sure if he had been awarded his 10th Dan by a Japanese association by then, or after. I do know he was awarded a 10th Dan by the Okinawa KarateDo Federation after the Japanese award (a few months after, I think).
Can the Uechi Family comment on this bit of history in the ranking / belt system of UechiRyu?
Thanks.

In return I as well meant no disrespect. I was trully interested in your ranking system and what the system is. I have been on Okinawa for around 21 years and always welcome new information. This is a rough place to hang out if you have grown tired of questions. For it is through the questions we ask eachother from which we learn.

Seizan san,
I seen one picture of him wearing the red belt. Sensei said it was taken at the time it was awarded to him. Not sure from which federation/association. Sensei said Kanei Sensei said he felt embarassed to wear the red belt and prefered his normal belt.

I spoke with both Kansho and Kanji in the last couple of weeks. Both of thier schedules are crazy due to their jobs. Kanji is suppose to give me a call this month about coming to my dojo and working out on his off nights we he is not teaching or working. Let you know if it works out. I will have to speak with Sada sensei about the belts when I see him. |

Nah! I've been in rougher forums! You both caught me on a bad day dealing with a sick son! I hope that my info was informative for you, and I too am always seeking new information. I agree with you on it's through questions in which we learn!
I've had a fruitful life with the martial arts and I wouldn't want to change anything; for I've loved to have served the martial arts. I'm just a student-master!
Friends?!?!?!?!?!
