Dan Kelly

Kyoshi Candidate of 2024

BUTOKUKAN - Eighty years young - Training since 1994

My 30 year study and practice of Uechi Ryu karate began about 2 months prior to my 51st birthday. I have a learning disabled son who, at that time (19 yrs old), introduced me to Mr. James Cameron and his dojo in Wolfeboro. My hope was that my son would stay with his participation in this activity along with myself. Such was not to be the case as he stopped after several months and I continued to this day. I hope to continue as my health and circumstances permit.

I have enjoyed meeting and participating in class with all of the many different individuals who share this unique style of martial arts. The instructors and fellow students are always encouraging and positive in their feedback.

My wife has been very generous with time allotted to my class participation and has always been very supportive of my efforts. It has been appreciated.
