He is still strong despite of age. The gratest Master I have heard or seen ever. I'm very proud I live in times on Master Higaonna. Long live to Sensey!

I don't know why, I love this sensei

I trained with him once way back in the 1980s at his dojo in Okinawa. It was just one day but I never forgot ANY of that experience, great memory. And yes I still practice today.

None of them were unhappy.. Older men with no machismo, just honoring what they learned. He had a childlike giddiness that made the interview awesome to watch. That's the sort of enthusiasm that makes you want to learn. Oss!!

God bless him, he is a great inspiration and a living legend. 👍🏽

I am thankful things like this are now preserved. It makes me think about how much has been lost over the centuries.

I almost could not make myself click the like button when I saw that there were 108 likes. It just seemed so appropriate for it to be that number.

it is official: Sensei Higaonna established his new organisation: Traditional Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karate-Do Organisation.

Living Legacy Legend of Goju Karate 🥋🔥

A mugger's nightmare... incredible guy.

Passionate & committed to a soo admirable extent, and so inspiring not only in focus, flow, strenght...; but also in heart, spirit, and a very close naturality. Deep, deep bow, Higaonna Morio. Domo arigato gozaimashita.

Thank you for showcasing Higaonna Sensei. I loved the effect of the dark surroundings during Higaonna Sensei and Kuramoto Sensei Kata Performances, it makes one appreciate the Kata in greater details.

I know nothing much about Karate but I have seen many people who have trained very hard and have mastered a martial art all their life. They all have this light, happy feeling when in a conversation. But very scary in training. Respect.

Can you imagine the knowledge of the men who invented the katas ?

Definitely one of my favorite human beings of all time

How lovely to see this video.. Respect to this great teacher of many people, the example of humility that he truly is. The Grandmaster of Okinawan Karate! Thank you for sharing.

Domo arigatou gozaimasu for sharing this excellent video of much admired Higaonna Sensei

"When you perform those (katas) with no one around you, you realize you're only fighting against yourself." 🙇😂 Deep, deep bow to Higaonna-sensei's mastery, heart, human simpleness and wisdom.

this great master trained the late great karate legend gary spiers and gary lived with him for a while

Had the honour of training under his guidance three times at gasshukues in the 90'ies. What an amazing leader, mentor and fabulous human being. So full of insight, respect and strenght in all areas. I have never met anyone like and never will. Truly amazing. He is capable of techniques you wont believe before you actually experience it. Thank you Sensei 💪👍🥋❤

Humble man, to be treasured & honoured

Arigato , un Lujo de Maestros !!

For those who never had the privilege of studying in Okinawa : "Pichurin" is from the Okinawan dialect. It's also known as "Suparinpei".

من يزعم الحكمة وهو لا يعبد الله فحكمته نقمة .... الحكمة الحقيقية تكمن في معرفة من خلقك وأوجدك وخلق السماوات والأرض والجبال والأنهار والمجرات والأسدمة وخلق الذرة والنواة وأبدع في كل شيء خلقه وأعطى من سأله ومن لم يسأله وذلك محض الكرم إنه( الله ) لا إله إلا هو وسع ربي كل شيء علما فأعبدوه واشكروا له وسيجمعنا في يوم القيامة ذلك اليوم الذي لا ريب فيه واتبعوا رسوله محمد صلى الله عليه واله وسلم خاتم الرسل وسيد المرسلين الذي قال( أنا مدينة العلم وعلي بابها ) صلى الله عليه وعلى آله الأطهار الأبرار ما تعاقب الليل والنهار وآخر دعواي أن الحمد لله رب العالمين
