Same video but some post-processing done to lighten it up and some subtitles added.

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 14.03 "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) 20.37 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. Seikichi Iha Sensei's friend and student Koichi Nakasone Sensei was interview #3 in this series. https://youtu.be/xbT6lf-VA9k 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 YouTube, 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! https://travel67.com/the-karate-masters-portrait-project/sensei-documentary/ 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 YouTube 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.
