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 was fortunate enough to be able to attend a seminar where Sensei Morales was teaching this past weekend of December 2, 2023. The way he taught was very clear, concise, and extremely knowledgeable towards not only the physical aspects of the art he practices but also the mental and spiritual. He is a great teacher and an even greater martial artist.
Hanshi Morales, you are an incredible teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion for karate.
This video resonates with many of us that have been practising Japanese mainland karate. I spent 15 years on a mainland Goju Ryu system. I went to okinawa for the first time this year and visited many masters. I saw the light and now in the middle of transitioning across.
Hanshi Morales is the real deal. One of the few left!
Morales Hanshi, thank you for sharing your passion. Excellent job by Chris and team, keep up the good work.
Much appreciated!
Hanshi Luis Morales to me is an American martial science treasure! His in-depth level of teachings in martial science and history can be compared to attaining a degree from M.I.T or Harvard Universities. I am honored and proud to be able to say that I train under his teachings. My name is Joey LLanos and I am currently a 4th dan. If you wish to experience this level of study in Traditional Okinawa Goju-Ryu. Our dojo is Budo Quest, located at 7 Elm St. North Arlington NJ. 07031. Onagashimas!
This was excellent, and for hokama sensei to be observing sensei Morales now thats an honour in itself
This is a great video! I've know Luis Morales for a few years, and I have the highest respect for him and his mastery.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A Sensei Distinction!
Sensei Morales, the best teacher of children in any field of education I have ever seen. I have 2 grandsons, nine years old each training with him 2 nights a week. One has been with him for 4-5 years, the other now in his second year. He not only teaches the art of karate, but perhaps more importantly, the art of life. He is an amazing man and role model.
Thank you Sensei for being unique 🙇♀️ and for being a great teacher and student. 3.23.
Thank you Luis MORALES, Hanshi ...and my brother
Awesome information. I appreciate you Hanshi Morales.
Thank you all for enriching people’s lives
I got to meet Mr. Morales in Okinawa in 2016. We were staying at the same hotel and I saw he and his students getting into a couple of taxi. We said hello. I was headed to Hokama Sensei's dojo to see the museum and was surprised to see him again at the dojo. We then had lunch together and saw each other at the Dojo bar later.
Beautiful Journey👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Powerful
I'm so proud of you. Love and hugs
Excellent purchase and thank you Master Moralas.
Wonderful
Excellent video! Congratulations Morales Hanshi!
Great video sensei. You've lead quite a journey and can now count yourself as one of the guardians of the old ways. I am proud to have been one of your students. Your legacy is secure.
Awesome interview with a great teacher. Congratulations to Hanshi Morales!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! I have met Sensei Morales! He is always an awesome teacher! He knows many points of the body. If you can learn from him you are already ahead of the game!
A block is not a block - but a strike.
A joint lock a throw.
Guys A Legend 🔥
Thats true, how to use, the aplicatif parts of kata is somewhat lost in this modern day
Thank you for this emerald video, it's good like always
I really enjoyed this video. Even after 40 years of training I am still a student of the art. I think there is much to learn from Okinawa Karate, physically, mentally and spiritually. I only hope to be 1/2 this good one day….much respect
Amazing. Much respect to Sensei Morales ! - DJ J-Ronin
I like this guy .Morales Sensei is very Humble .
3,800 views in one day, that's awesome.
Pretty cool
Astonishing Interview!!!
Much respect Hanshi Morales
Morales Sensei is my Hokama Sensei. The knowledge, skill, and wisdom he shares is unmatched in the U.S.
Great video and great master! Thank you!🙏🏻
Great to see a different speed to Tensho. I have been taught to be relaxed and go slow through out.
A gem
Arigato Gozaimashita Hanshi Morales.
Grew up training shotokan. Have done Muay Thai and BJJ. Wish I could train every style out there even though that would take a few lifetimes. Goju-Ryu definitely makes the body stronger than some other styles though
I have been saying this for years.
Gyaku Te / Kyusho are the “TRUE AND PURE KEMPO”
It is the Go Hard and the Ju soft it is the way to victory.
OSU!
Hanshi where can I find your book?
For some reason when I post the link, the post disappears so: Look up Budoquest Martial Arts. The link to buy the book is on the front page
@johnodriscoll3078 thank you Sir!!
@@xride64 it's a really good read, I keep referring back to it.

Si; Karate para defensa personal; pero evidentemente es más fácil si uno es grande como este instructor. Karate solo habría que haberlo enseñado a la gente normal o chica de tamaño; para lograr un handicap; una posibilidad contra todos estos gigantes
HAVE YOU EVER HERD OF YOUNG BO KONG
This series is focused on Okinawan karate, not Taekwondo. However, I'm sure he would have been an interesting person to interview.
