Look up "Sugong: The life of a Shaolin Grandmaster" by Nick Hurst. I just got Shaolin White Crane by Yang Jwing Ming

Is Islam banned in China?

[@lionelclermont5588]

@monkeystealspeach I just come back from Okinawa and did the exercise of studying Okinawan karate over there, after 25 years of practice in qi xing tang lang, if you want some insights feel free to contact me. Also met James 😊

Getting me a hoodie before you become a world famous anthropologist mate.

[@katandmart]

Why has KZbin started calling me katandmart again?? I didn’t approve this

[@leegravett4966]

This is a great idea!! If you’re able to, go see a Mr Kiyohiko Higa. He and his now deceased father have spent their lives collating all the older Okinawan Arts.

[@stefansandbergsweden]

That would be great. 🙏

[@Fuzboy]

Loved your Masters of Taiwan series (and others!) as Taiwan was my parents' birthplace. It felt so nostalgic for me, as well as learning history that I didn't know about. Can't wait for the Okinawan series, as I've recently rekindled my love of Karate! Cheers!

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

That's awesome! I loved Taiwan and can't wait to go back!

[@ruiseartalcorn]

Awesome!!! I'm really looking forward to this! Okinawan arts from the Chinese perspective - brilliant idea! :)

[@camiloiribarren1450]

This is gonna be amazing. I cannot wait to see what you explore in Okinawa and what you unveil for the rest of us

[@bobhoniball]

We met in Okinawa at the Shureido shop. Followed you for some time, your work is very interesting, keep it up my friend.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Hey, yea was great to meet you and thanks for your support!

[@wesleyjackson7487]

Uechi ryu Karate is one that you should focus on the founder learned it in china at fuzhou Fujian Province it was called pangai noon then it later got renamed to Uechi ryu karate

[@EthanNoble]

YES!!! Zhou Zihe would to see more of what he discovers about him

[@tonygallagher6989]

It would be great to see something about Chotoku Kyan, as he's rarely mentioned in videos in the English language. Whether you decide to mention him and his influence or not, I'm looking forward to seeing this.

[@19Cai]

Very much looking forward to this. I'm also a mod at r/karate on Reddit where we have 60k+ karate people now and we would love you to post these up there when they come out.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Thank you! I have posted some of my Fujian videos before on therr

[@binaryflawgic5713]

I am looking forward to this trip, after having seen some interesting stuff in kuro-obi. Thanks for the heads-up on the trip, for us that don't have an Instagram. It might finally be time to support you, and learn so much more about China, its martial arts, and your experience with it.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Thank you!

[@EzeHSK]

Every new series is better than the last one. I'm really looking forward to this one!

[@tonbonthemon]

Hope it all works out 🙏🙏🙏 I agree, some good production from the community would help boost the TMA's /CMAs. We're being held down by a lot of our own doing and not-doing.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Thank you!!!

[@jacobharris954]

Mma has stopped cma I feel like it went into shadows

[@MG-bi6mq]

Okinawa had styles of kung fu separate from karate. The only one I’ve seen would be Hindiandi or “Rotating Hands, Penetrating Hands.” I don’t know if anyone in Okinawa still practices Hindiandi, though.

[@GermanSausagesAreTheWurst]

That sounds interesting. I seem to remember that there is a form of dance on Okinawa that preserves some ancient martial techniques, but I can't think of the name off the top of my head.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Thanks for the tip! Definitely something I can look into

[@DGalamay30]

Are you going to team up with Jesse Enkamp again? I'm surprised you didn't mention his series since you guys worked together

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

For this series I'll be working with James Pankiewicz from BujinTV, although I have chatted to Jesse and he gave me some good suggestions for the trip!

[@PhinTheShoto]

Okinawa, the Birthplace of Karate

[@jacobharris954]

Waiting for Jesse emkamp like he is ed boon from mortal combat lol

[@valeriecatanzaro_art]

I'm a Seito Matsumura shorin ryu karate practitioner and I can't wait to see this series! Maybe you can find some info about this (disappearing) old style... what we do is definitely influenced heavily by Chinese arts!

[@Purwapada]

so cool. i am hoping you can show some Uechi Ryu!

[@allones3078]

Will you be covering karate in china at the end of this series? Would be cool to see how it came from china and how it is different since it came back.

[@evgenyrybin2394]

Excellent 👍, waiting

[@simonseymour3099]

I recommend you interview Mark Bishop he knows all about Kojo Ryu In fact it's two Familys they don't see eye to eye

[@winfieldjay2324]

Where can I find information on the Hung Moon secret society?

[@lawrencecron672]

I hope you find some native Hogen dialects still being kept alive and a tour of the Karate Bars and Food establishments.

[@flamezombie1]

Okinawa, the birthplace of karate? Haha Very excited for this, Shorin-ryu was my first martial art so I've been super interested in the Chinese origins of the art.

[@Gieszkanne]

Very Interesting! For me your videos are already very professional. I have read about a martial art the is just called Ti or Te that is more pure okinawan without chinese influence. Also if you look at the 3 places that makes Karate , Naha, Shuri and Tomari, they are all at one spot. But Okinawa is much bigger. I cant imagine that they only did practice martial arts at this region. I always thought there must be more unknown martial arts on Okinawa but maybe I am wrong.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Thank you!

[@TtrtRX]

Excellent

[@ZiranmenBerlin]

Power to you but a Netflix quality documentary series for 10000, aren't you way underestimating the costs?

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Well…. yes of course there budget is much higher, it’s more of a figure of speech.

[@stefanog634]

Hi man, I hope you are well. I just purchased an awesome T-shirt at the shop, I hope it can support you. I'm just back from Okinawa, I was training at my sensei's dojo, I study Uechi Ryu and Matayoshi kobudo. I'm sure you'll fall in love with Okinawa, it is a good mix between Japan, China, south east Asia, and there are so much autoctone cultural things that you will be amazed. Night life is super fun in Naha, make sure you visit Makishi market. Hope you'll have a good trip, thanks for your work bro 💪🏼🥋🌺

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Thanks man! Appreciate the support!

[@marishiten9297]

I will contact you again. Okinawa is a great place. Enjoy! Milan

[@FrankMonday]

Neato! ❤

[@jonatho85]

Oh shhhnnnaaapppp Looking forward to it.

[@marishiten9297]

Have you come to Okinawa? I'm Milan. A Japanese restaurant in Yantai. Welcome to Okinawa!

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Wow! Its been a long time… more than ten years! Do you still have my email address?

[@gnos1s171]

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stuarthughes3747]

you need to meet senha sensei goju ryu

[@briandavies8351]

Yea cannot wait what camera do you use for filming

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Right now I use a Sony ZV-1, but I am gonna get some new equipment for this trip!

[@simonseymour3099]

You seem to be moving away from Chinese arts in more interested in the yang arts going from Chen village to yang as in family ? I was thinking of singing up to patrion but I have signed up before and never had a reply to my ideas or content ideas?

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Hi Simon, I do try to respond to all messages I get through Patreon. I have just had a look through the message box and not seen any missed messages from you. But yes, the idea of covering various Taiji styles is something I have thought about for a future project. I wouldn't say I'm moving away from Chinese styles, my last two projects were Taiwan and Hong Kong, and after this Okinawa trip, my next one will be back to China.

[@worryphree]

Hory shet I thought this was gonna be some danm KARATE!

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Haha, sorry to disappoint. That is coming in November

[@worryphree]

@@MonkeyStealsPeach Okey dokey.

[@anthonyw9390]

Support👍

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

thank you!

[@MrRourk]

I love this turn the tables. Go there looking for the obscure styles.

[@GermanSausagesAreTheWurst]

I hope he sees my comment about Motobu Udundi. It's pretty obscure.

[@marishiten9297]

It’s been a while! I'm glad you're here in Okinawa. I don't know your email address. Are you coming to Tokyo? Milan

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Sorry, I’ll only be transferring in Tokyo airport for a couple of hours! I have your email, I’ll send you a message!

[@marishiten9297]

@@MonkeyStealsPeach Thank you. I'm waiting for your email. 🤗

[@greenshifu]

,cool, wonder where you got the idea for doing this?!

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Lots of comments on my existing videos from people asking about Karate-Kung Fu connections. Then James actually reached out and invited me to Okinawa, so I thought why not!

[@greenshifu]

@@MonkeyStealsPeach it will be very interesting to see if you find anything connecting directly. Will you be also investigating any Tai Chi as there are similarities there too with karate stances?

[@Gieszkanne]

@@greenshifu "similarities" just like most Kung Fu styles use mainly the same stances. And you find them in much more southeast asian styles.

[@greenshifu]

@@Gieszkanne I know of this and read about styles quite alot. There are more similarities than just stances and worthy of further investigating.

[@Gieszkanne]

@@greenshifu Not really. Chen style was only teached inside the family. And the other styles just developed around 1900. There are no links.
