Sensei Bill Leith is a 6th Degree Black Belt (Renshi) in traditional Okinawan Uechi-Ryu Karate. He is certified as a Shihan, master instructor, under Buzz Durkin's Uechi-Ryu Butokukai.
Bill Leith began his martial arts training in 1995 at Buzz Durkin’s Uechi Karate School in Atkinson, NH. In 2004 he began assisting with instruction of classes, shortly after becoming a full instructor at the school.
With 20 years of teaching experience, Mr. Leith has taught thousands of students of all ages. Besides teaching his regular classes he has also taught a multitude of seminars regarding self-defense, fitness, and bully-awareness for local schools and businesses. Mr. Leith also has a vast knowledge of Okinawan Kobudo (weapons training) – having started his practice in 2002.
As a teacher, Sensei Leith wants to see his students improve physically and mentally through their karate practice – while having fun. He accomplishes this through a goal-oriented program designed to keep his students on track and focused. While the core of the Uechiryu Karate curriculum is the backbone of his program, he knows that people train in the martial arts for a variety of reasons – and so he adapts his teaching style and classes to meet the needs of his students.
