- In 1968, at age 19, Greg Lindquist began training under Seiyu Oyata, a karate master who had moved to small-town Kansas from Okinawa, Japan. Greg Lindquist would study under Seiyu Oyata until his teacher passed in 2012. Greg Lindquist founded Zensekai Karate Kobujitsu Renmei which aims to preserve the legacy of Oyata's teachings.
Seiyu Oyata had been trained for combat during WWII, and afterwards learned a particularly effective and brutal style of traditional karate that had been used by elite guards at Shuri Castle. Oyata Sensei become famous for his demonstrations where he showed techniques that would incapacitate opponents with rapid precise blows to vital points. Greg Lindquist for many years was the "knockout king" taking the painful brunt of these demonstrations.

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 on 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, and to archive aspects of Okinawan culture before they disappear.

I've met Hanshi Lindquist many times. He has always been a wealth of knowledge. His passion for Kobudo shows very much. I hope that I can learn from him for many many more years!
Met him a couple months back. Sat and had a nice chat with him. Really nice guy with a wealth of knowledge
I’m a former student of Tashi Logue. Training since mid 1990’s. I’m still pulling technical lessons from exercise 1 and 2!
Seiyu Oyata is great martial artist, have a big name throught the classic martial arts circle
Thank you for the video
Amazing video. Would love to see more about Taika Oyata.
Excellent video, thank you for sharing. It was an honor to meet Lindquist Sensei last April while he was on Okinawa. He is a true gentleman.
Glad you enjoyed it Mark! Thank you for all your support with the series.

Сейю Оята обучался боевым действиям во время Второй мировой войны, а затем изучил особенно эффективный и жестокий стиль традиционного карате, который использовался элитными охранниками в замке Сюри. Оята-сэнсэй прославился своими демонстрациями, на которых он показывал приемы, выводящие противника из строя быстрыми точными ударами по жизненно важным точкам. Грег Линдквист на протяжении многих лет был «королем нокаута», принимая на себя болезненную тяжесть этих демонстраций.
He kinda forgot Bill Wiswell who supplied Oyata with an income and John Newton who supplied them with most of their members and black belts.
Уважение и честь Мастеру🙏🙏🙏Осс!
👌🙏
He was a good technician? He had no equal in this in this century. 😮😮😮😮😮
