Editorial and Sources Policy

Uechi-Ryu Karate Australia publishes information about traditional Okinawan Uechi-Ryu Karate, its Hozonkai lineage, Australian history, grading and affiliated dojo activity. This policy explains how we aim to keep that information accurate, respectful and useful.

How we check information

  • Historical and lineage claims are checked against available organisational records, recognised publications, archived material and direct knowledge from senior practitioners.
  • Names, titles, ranks, dojo details and grading information are reviewed with the relevant instructor or organisation where practical.
  • We distinguish documented facts from personal recollections or interpretations.
  • We avoid unsupported claims about effectiveness, health outcomes or superiority over other martial arts.

Editorial review

Material is reviewed for accuracy, clarity, respectful terminology and relevance to the Australian Uechi-Ryu community. Significant corrections should be made promptly when reliable evidence is supplied. Review dates are shown only when a genuine content review has occurred.

Sources and attribution

Where a page relies on a published source, archive, photograph or another organisation’s material, we aim to identify or link to that source when possible. Copyrighted material is not reproduced beyond what is permitted or authorised.

Corrections

If you believe a page contains an error or omits important context, please use our contact page. Include the page, the statement in question and any supporting source. We will assess the evidence and update the material where warranted.

Scope and relationships

This website serves an Australian Uechi-Ryu Hozonkai authority and community role. Dojo listings and links identify genuine training relationships; inclusion is not a paid endorsement. Commercial enquiries should be directed to the relevant dojo listed in the Australian dojo directory.
