Keith Pevey thank you very much for your comment. My Sensei also died and I miss him too. But he is with us in each class, in spirit and physically through a video we watch of him leading our class as we train. I am sure your sifu is watching you also.

@@SenseiNickFloresDojoTexas Dear Sensei Flores, may I ask you a question: I notice that you are practising an lineage of Shorin Ryu...which is it- Matsubayashi, Kobayashi, Shobayashi....? Stay safe, kind regards from Salvatore (yes, I am italian:) ) from Germany.

Damien Huerta I do karate as I was taught in the old days. and I teach young people the same way as I was taught. the exercises they do I do with them also. the best students are teenagers. they inspire me. because of their dedication to karate. 99 out of 100 quit. but the ones that stay doing it after brown belt really inspire me. plus doing kata and the exercises are extremely important to people over 50, because this is a very great exercise for the elderly. it keeps your body fit and if you do the kata exactly it keeps your memory fit also. I was born 15 of December 1943 so figure out how old I am. Thanks for your comment.

The other Gates are mentioned in the newest video

FRMOutsideSpace those originated in okinawa. for example when karate came to japan. the Japanese were fighting the chinese, the Japanese wouldn't allow any words out of the Japanese language. when you write karate in japanese it means empty hand. when you write karate in Chinese it's called China hand. so funakoshi sensei pronounced karate the same way but wrote it different. so the same pronouncation meant empty hand in japanese, not China hand. the kata is exact like in Okinawa but the bunkai, history and terminology was Chinese and Okinawan language, thus it was left out if sensei funakoshi had left it in the original way, the Japanese in those days would of chopped his head off.
