Sensei: Masters of Okinawan Karate #8 Seikichi Iha - 沖縄空手

Master of Okinawan karate Seikichi Iha, 10th dan Beikoku Shidokan Karatedo, an “Intangible Cultural Asset Holder in the Field of Okinawan Karate and Martial Arts with Weaponry.” This interview was filmed during his return to Okinawa for his 88th year party. Speaking in Japanese and the Okinawan language he discusses his teachers Gusukuma Sensei and Miyahira Sensei, including the fundamentals of their studies of karate. He demonstrate techniques with his students at the Miyahira Dojo. Corrections “In Urasoe we’d go through the entire kata“ should be “In class we’d go through the entire kata“ (The dojo was in Nishihara) iro mushito should be iro mishiran (but the translation is correct) Other errors may appear, but the advantage with this video series, is that anyone can always go back and watch the source material rather than blindly trust our translations.
