    Sensei: Masters of Okinawan Karate is a documentary series about the amazing martial arts teachers living on Okinawa, the birthplace of karate. It is completely free to watch on RUclips, anywhere in the world! Series One has more than 1,000,000 views.
    Visit the blog to learn how you can support Series Two. Coming in 2022!

    GOALS OF THE SERIES
    1. Document the stories of Okinawan karate masters and their philosophy on life and their martial arts practice.
    2. Record in the highest quality possible. Ideally 4K or 8K, RAW, multi camera, multi audio
    3. Store the original data as an archival record.
    4. Transcribe and translate the recordings to spread knowledge of Okinawan martial arts, history and culture.
    5. Make the videos available for free online via RUclips and Bujin.tv so that anyone, anywhere can see them.
    The documentary series grew out of the Karate Masters Portrait Project which began in 2012. The portrait project allowed amazing access to the sensei, but it was only Chris Willson and James Pankiewicz who got to hear their stories. The documentary series is a way for us to share that unique knowledge with the international karate community.
    The international karate community generously supported the first series.

    WE will keep the tradition of KARATE.....the sport is good....but KARATE didnt originate for this reason. OUR traditional understanding must always remain, or the SPIRIT will be lost.....KARATE and SPIRIT are ONE ...this is what OUR great teachers have taught for centuries.........................BODY-MIND-SPIRIT....Peace on 🌎......thank you for the awsome video Amigo!

    Such a wonderful series. I am a little confused, though, about one point of this video. Online I read that Tamaki-sensei is the head of Kokusai Shogen-ryu, but here the title card says he is with Shorin Ryu Karate do International. I understand Shogen-ryu grew from Shorin Ryu, but I thought the website for Okinawa Shogen-ryu, under Maeda-sensei, specifically states that it is now separate from other branches of Shorin Ryu. Is Tamaki-sensei affiliated with Maeda-sensei and Okinawa Shogen-ryu Karate-do? Are they (Maeda-sensei and Tamaki-sensei) separately continuing the tradition of Shogen Ryu's founder Taba Sensei? Sorry if this is an odd or in any way inappropriate question. I am just very curious, and would like to study with both of the men and their students if the opportunity ever arises.

      It would be great to expand the portrait series and the video series to masters of Okinawan karate based overseas, or karate masters up on mainland Japan. Currently our time and budget restricts us to focus only on Okinawa as it where I live.

    It is important to remember where you came from..these sensei emphasize that in their comments.
    Okinawan Karate is understood only by strong mind body and Spirit...the glue that combine these three is Sweat.
    Kata Yakusoku and Makiwara are essential to find bunkai...there in find the proper teacher you can call Sensei.

    Throughout my school life I was bullied. They mocked me because of my dark skin. And they use to beat me up. No one helped me. I made friends with some of my classmates thinking that they will help me. But when the bullies came they left me and joined the bullies to beat me up with them.
    Then I started learning kudo and karate. And I worked day and night to train myself. And then all my bullies avoided any conflict with me.
    Now I'm a black belt in karate and I know how it feels to be weak. But the truth is we are not weak its just a state to mind. So I thought of teaching everyone martial arts and rise above bullies. And started a RUclips channel. Always remember YOU ARE NOT WEAK. YOU ARE MORE THAN WHAT YOU THINK YOURSELF TO BE. NEVER EVER GIVE UP.
