Is the Master’s Banquet only for master ranking students?
No! The event is where we celebrate this year’s receivers of master ranks and titles in the Uechiryu Butokukai. As such, we encourage them to invite their friends, family, and fellow students for a world class meal. All are welcome to attend and celebrate their love of the martial arts.

No! We started Uechi-Con as an event where martial artist can get together and learn from each other regardless of style or organization. We are strong supporters of cross-training and learning from others regardless of rank or affiliation. If you are willing to “empty your cup” and bring a positive attitude then we would love to have you!
