I would like to congratulate Chip Quimby on making one of the best instructional video courses I have had the pleasure of viewing. Chip's technical knowledge is outstanding and we can really feel it by the way he instructs and breaks core skills into their individual components. I would like to recommend Mr. Quimby's courses to all those interested in learning more about Karate and Uechi-ryu in particular.
