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.

As a few others in the chat have already mentioned, this is an insightful video which gives us a good idea of what traditional karate really is. Really appreciated the fact that he was very direct in his explanation.
I’m a Muay Thai and Bjj guy, this video makes me want to train in Karate. Well done sir
Stuff like this is what makes youtube awesome
So fascinating and inspiring. The wisdom of the elders must be not be lost. Thank you for making these documentaries.
Excellent. A very good service you are partaking in here. I hang on every word these senior Masters are sharing.
Nakasone Sensei, I wish you a complete recovery from your illness!!! 🙇♂️
Long life, health and wealth to you Sensei!!!
I really like it when I hear them speak of not being concerned with winning but just not losing. I think that is key.
I agree, I think if you have the right mindset, because is truly for a self-defense and not attacking, then not losing really is a win. Only those who have a big ego, or desperate would see the need for attacking.
I am loving this series as a traditional martial artist and teacher of the traditional martial arts this feeds my soul fire
Thanks for all the videos! I can't stop watching and listening to all sensei interviews who devoted their life in martial art, beautiful and fascinating.
This is truly an exceptional series. So much history and information here. Well done!
I highly agree with that
This is truly a pleasure.
Learning from masters through youtube.
Many thanks
I have enjoyed all your uploads. However I find this one the most insightful, moving and in some ways very sad, hearing about his illness. What a great master, and wonderful human being this man is!
What illness does he have
I really enjoy these series, the history, concepts, explanation, really helps the viewer keep connected with what Okinawan Karate really stands for. Keep them coming!
This is the best interview and advice ive ever heard

Thank you for this upload.
THANK YOU. Sensei Master Koichi Nakasone, Your Greatest Techniques Are So Grateful.
Thank you Sensei Koichi Nakasone. You are an inspiration.
Wow - great video and beautifully produced. Chris Willson is a master. When I first met Nakasone Sensei, he was a beast and Kumite Champion. It is great to hear and see the evolution of his karate. I absolutely love his instruction beyond mere kata. His respect for Iha Sensei is moving. Totally inspired to go move and feel the energy flow.
Thanks Shawn, glad you enjoyed it! I'm no master though, just a beginner when it comes to documentary making. Slowly getting better though :)
Thank you for the video. Its such a pleasure watching the Masters....and feeling their peace......Thanx
Thank you very much for this great documentary film. Osu.
Bless your heart and I wish you the best Koichi Nakasone
wow by watching this entire video I hope people will feel what i felt. Its some how some kind of peace surrounding hes whole character. Hard to explain but I got happy by listening to him.
Awesome guy!
Rewatching this hit me differently. I've grown a bit since last time and was able to get more out if this. I really respect this man's journey.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this
Thank you...that was great!
Dear Master Koichi Nakasone,
My deepest appreciation for the overview of Your way of Karate, especially with regards to
how one can find understanding of Karate going back to the roots.
Linking Kobudo is another good aspect especially when engaged in defence against attackers using poles, clubs or even knives.
Good health and Many, many thanks!
Paul, retired instructor of Karate.
This is one of my favorites. I enjoy all the videos!
Thank you, Sensei
This is one of my favorite episodes. Thank you so much for bringing these amazing stories and masters to us.
Glad you like them!
You never get tired of learning from the Masters in the Arts.
Very motivating video for one to continue practice till we die. Thank you for sharing 🙏
An exceptional Sensei. I would be honored to be his student.
Thank you.
Very good video. Thanks!
As it moved away from the source , like most things , Okinawan karate got distorted and watered down. But at it's heart it's a compact , powerful , close range self defense system . There's a lot of standing grappling , trips, sweeps, throws and clinch work . I was lucky to meet a Goju practitioner in Washington state (US) that traveled often to Okinawa . He would perform Sanchin kata, or Tsuken no eku at local Karate tournaments and ironically always lose because the judges had no idea what the were looking at They were only used to the more popular acrobatic sports forms like you see in the Karate Kid movies . I certainly didn't master Sanchin , but between practicing it and building a proper makiwara board (not just a pad on the wall) I learned a LOT about structure and kinetic chain for short, explosive power .
Great Master information I love this!
what a nice friendly good guy,.. love him
Excellent thanks for sharing
Thank you Sensei and thank you Chris. Eduardo. Argentina
Wonderful and beautiful Okinawan master.
Thank you . The best :)
Lovely man! Great sensei with great wisdom!
Outstanding work!
Thanks John for your support for the series.
Toujours passionant. C es grands Maîtres ont la haute connaissance de l' art martial, de ses nuances et subtilité s; ils connaissent et pratiquent noblement, rigoureusement la voie mais aussi et surtout ils manisfestent d' une élévation d' esprit remarquable c' est par cela aussi qu'ils touchent, émerveillent l' autre, les autres. Ce sont "des trésors vivants" qui peuvent transmettre l' inexprimable : ce qui se vit dans la vérité de l' instant passant. Merci à eux merci aux réalisateurs de cette série.
Super cool! Thanks!
excellent. a must for everyone to watch. it is straight out of Funakoshi 20 guiding principles of karate.thanks for sharing this wisdom. good health.
This master is super progressive, love it! He makes the same critiques about the kata as Bruce Lee, as a karate practitioner this is very motivating to keep coming up with new moves.
Truly on another level as a human being , what a different world it would be if we could all develop that attitude in our lives .
Excellent and wise man
There is not a single man in this serie that i don't like. Anybody who trained physically that hard in their life will always have a good heart because they have endured and have learned the limitation of the physical body.
excellent
the pure beauty,honesty and old school wisdom that can be gained from these ,actual real traditional karate ka ,is unreplaceable ,roided up ,glory hole haters,step back !you might learn ! basic respect cost nothing!
My sensei showed me the same things about Pinan Shodan the other night in class. Great series. Another great interview.
Wow what a 'true 'bushi' and great insights into training.
Thank you for these beautiful series of videos. Such a perfect example that there is no such thing as a master or to master, except the self proclaimed, arrogant, jealous and narcissists. Real mastery means dedication, focus, wisdom and humility to learn. These Sensei don’t speak shit, they speak humbly, truthfully and with true knowledge and wisdom.
well done with these videos
freaking amazing master!
Моё почтение сенсей Накасоне
Глубина проработки и прекрасная улыбка интересной личности
Долгих лет жизни
Beautiful video, so insightful and inspiring. Excellent work, thank you so much for your dedication to capture the 'wise' of the traditonal martial arts.
So much attitude in that thumbnail
I love it
I love the shoulder point because we use similar movements to break grip.
Open your mind John, do not let your journey stop and most importantly enjoy what you are doing.
Nice master
A slight body shift can change everything. Power. Strength. Speed.
EVERYTHING.
Which brings me to my GRIPE. All of my MASTERS/SIFUS didn’t teach me this technique until I MASTERED.
“It kinda pissed me off. Because if they had taught me that in the beginning, I would have mastered FASTER.
Now, years later...
I understand. Master form then technique. Then, PERFECT.
Awesomeness!
i practice Karate from 4 years old ...im 31 and still practice...way of life
Terima kasih
What a beautiful person. Thanks for your work
Great documentary!👍👍👍
Peace and harmony,
Sensei Maharaj
A great man!
Much respect. Osu!
Respect!
Excellent studio lighting Chris, well done.
Thanks Mark
Good work, really good work❗ These senseis are old, muz document all these before they are gone so the knowledge and experiences can be passed on.
He hv great experience as sensei
He know the history of karate Okinawan..
true karate is a complete art.
A treasure!
The front wheel is Karate, the rear wheel kobudo. Beautiful presentation. Thank you for sharing.
I shake my head in disbelief when I think of the crap I learned concerning kata before I met an Okinawan.
Same
good sensei.ı like.
Honors to Mr. Koichi
God bless him a true spritual man 🙏❣️
The best karate i like
My father wore hats like that.
Every Sunday.
stepping forward to slight angle is from hsing-i. Slight angle to slip their attack, forward to confuse their distance. When they move forward dont back up.
the Tedx talks equalient of Japanese karate. thx for creating the Sensei series!
Thank you!
You do not want to try and mess with James in a fight holy crap he's huge 😂
Also thanks a lot for the video that was captivating
Great honour Oss Sensei
本当にありがとうございました、気を付けてください
Un grand homme !
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 in the video description.
It's very good that someone took the time and filmed the Okinawan masters. It would be a shame to see this knowledge lost.
Mash-taaaahhh!
The grandmaster is getting older & I hope that you can find them & documenting their words & techniques. It's like an archive & history regardless any martial arts.
