Russ began his karate training at the Brockton Uechi-ryu Karate Academy on September 20, 2004. He received his first black belt on November 16, 2007. Russ became full time instructor at BUKA in November 2010. He taught children and adults until October 2012. He left the BUKA to further his Uechi-ryu Karate Do in the birthplace of this style, Ginowan City, Okinawa where he tested for his Yondan (4th degree) rank in November 2014. Sadly Russ passed away due to complications from pneumonia on February 28, 2016. Russ made many friends during his training and teaching at the Brockton Uechi-ryu Karate Academy and in Okinawa. The Brockton Uechi-ryu Karate Academy Scholarship Fund was renamed to the Russell Chase Memorial Scholarship fund.
