In addition to his Uechi ryu karate, J.C. practices Qi gong, Kobudo and Yoga.“Uechi ryu eliminated my migraines, reduced my stress level, has given me confidence to take on projects I previously wouldn't have, has introduced me to many great people, has introduced me to the practise of qigong, and it's also kept me in good physical shape.”
