15 years today we walked into our first dojo in Hilltop Community Centre. I would like to say is it has been an honour and privilege to be Sensei to such an amazing group of students. You guys make my job an absolute joy. Also none of this would have happened without the un wavering support of my family Kylie she is truly the backbone of our dojo, Caitlin you have inspired me to always push myself, Joshua you where the one who started us all on this amazing journey for without you the Bishop family would never have started Uechi Ryu Karate Do and for that I am thankful. I would also like thank the following people for your ongoing support.

Hanshi Arthur Moulas
Hanshi David Hayward
Kyoshi Raul Fernandez
Kyoshi David Calvert
Kyoshi Nick Moulas

I would like especially thank the following students for their help over the years. You guys always step up whenever we need you.
