Beschreibung | Masaaki Ueki (植木 政明, Ueki Masaaki, born 24 March 1939 in Tokyo) is a Japanese master of Shotokan karate. He started karate at the age of sixteen, during his third year of high school under Sugiura, with only one other student participating. Despite beginning with judo, he found himself too small, but became interested in karate because of its emphasis on speed. Therefore, he trained and developed through the grades, and after graduating from Asia University he was encouraged to join the instructor's programme. |
