Peggy (Marguerite) Hess Sensei (7 Dan, Kyoshi) is on a trip around Europe these days, meeting again with old friends, leading the training sessions in various Dojos and sharing her knowledge with Uechi-Ryu enthusiasts of all ages! Hess Sensei firstly visited England, where Mick Pappas Sensei escorted her in various Dojo and offered her wonderful sightseeing tours. These days Hess Sensei is visiting Germany, where she has many friends as well. Hess Sensei is very active organizing Karate events around the world and was one of the frequent visitors, along with other American and Okinawan instructors, in the seminars organized in Germany during the late 90's and early 2000's. Next stop: France! Great things are about to happen there too... After the trip in France, Mick Pappas Sensei invited Hess Sensei to join him on his annual trip to his fatherland, Greece. Peggy Sensei couldn't resist the beauty of Greek seas in the summer and said yes! Sensei Steve McNally from Liverpool joined the team in Athens, and the three instructors drove to Volos, where they had the chance to practice with the local Uechi-Ryu practitioners.
