This writer introduced James Cameron, Uechiryu Karate Do, to
the club. Besides holding Okinawan Black Belts, he is a licensed
clinical mental health counselor. His program at his locations
in Wolfeboro and at the Laconia Athletic Club not only trains
students in martial arts but also helps them build self-esteem
and learn self-discipline, leadership, and other real world skills.
Students range in age from five to adults and attend classes
two times a week. For more information, go to nhkarate.com.
