[@OkinawanSpirit]

Thank you for all the positive comments. We're about to start filming Series Two, and need help from the international martial arts community to do it. Learn how you can become a supporter or sponsor of the series in the video description.

Fantastic video, great stuff.Oss

Words simply fail to describe the greatness of these legends. And above all, one that really touched me was when the sensei described his master's generosity! In my humble opinion, this is the real definition of a martial art: modesty, generosity, and kindness. 'Deep waters run slow.' Thx an ocean for all your efforts providing this video.

This is for fighting.

[@oldschoolkarate-5o]

You are compiling the greatest archive on karate masters I have ever come across, can you do something on the Gojukai school of Gojuryu you will find some great masters there . Thanks

[@rmcfee]

Fascinating!

[@ericastier1646]

All these karate masters and all traditional martial arts master no matter the style are gems for society. They forge many children to grow as straight, respectful and good men. At the opposite of this is degenerate and valueless sports like mma which which creates thugs without moral compass.

[@wlad3837]

Osu, Sensei Tetsuhiro

[@cor2250]

Osu 🙏🏼

[@rutiloromero446]

Wish I could start start Goju Ryu but everything is shut down over here in Los Angeles right now.

[@dirgniflesuoh7950]

Rutilo Romero Cheer up, sooner or later they will open again, and then you can. Where I live dojos are open but the choice is Shotokan, Kyukushin or sports, Shito Ryu 40 k away and no Goju Ryu.

Whadda ya call it when the use of sense is studied? I am training one in the use of ethereal sense whom is enrolled in retail karate; Some get chills when onset of knowledge occurs; My knuckles sorta look like his just not as well developed; Didja know brick-walls are a musical tool?

I dont know why but I have impression this man its a big scammer...I try to see in other videos what he know and every time he just speaked not showed nothing. Sometimes he stay in a strange wrong position and talking...bla-bla

[@trinidadraj152]

Nope

[@raymondfrye5017]

Scam artist.

[@raymondfrye5017]

@@gojustudent485 it was? His performance was correct? In Sanchin, the feet are around 1.0 foot or 12 inches apart with your thighs close together to prevent kicks to the testicles. Do you see this?

[@raymondfrye5017]

@@gojustudent485 Yes. It is interesting their curriculum and history. You might want to save up some money so you can make THE BIG TRIP to Okinawa and see for yourself Authentic GOJU RYU KARATE. Regards

[@raymondfrye5017]

@@gojustudent485 Concerning Sanchin kata, the feet are shoulder-width apart and...in an hourglass stance with the forward foot at a 45° angle to the center.I am surprised you didn't know this. Do you really know the history of your "traditional Senseis"? Good Luck to Student Research
