The video link a couple of updates ago for the
blog on kakie is from a series of
videos by Morio Higaonna, one of the best known and revered instructors of
Okinawan GoJuRyu Karate. He used to teach at RyuShinKan dojo in
Yoyogi. This blog will sometimes link to
his videos on YouTube accordingly.
However, the lineage of the RyuShinKan dojo
karate is from Eiichi Miyazato Sensei, the late head of JunDoKan in Naha,
Okinawa. Miyazato Sensei was a student
of Choujun Miyagi Sensei, the legendary founder of GoJuRyu. So RyuShinKan has a
direct link to the origins of Karate of just three generations.
Miyazato Sensei shunned the limelight, and
in that sense was a true Martial Artist.
For a little more information on a somewhat complex relationship, see
this link to Miyazato Sensei’s last interview.
