Goju Ryu Karate-Do
Tetsuhiro Hokama Sensei, he has appeared on a promotional video for the Ryukyu Bank. Not much Karate or info, a quick look at Hokama's Karate museum and clips from his kids class.
But : You can see our Academies badge that I presented him with when I visited in 2015. It's pinned with many more to a board in his Dojo.

Goju Ryu History: This is the only film footage of Goju Ryu Karate-Do prior to the 1950’s! There are also very few books covering Goju Ryu from the pre-war period. And most of these are text descriptions, with very few illustrations.

The clip covers conditioning exercises - Hojo or Kigu Undo. Parts of Kururunfa Kata and Tensho Kata. Then lastly a brief glimpse of a group performance of Seiunchin Kata.

In The Kingdom Of The Blind, The One Eyed Man Is King.
Terry Dukes , also known as Nagaboshi Tomio.
Sensei Christian mentioned yesterday the time he spent being conned by this charlatan, the founder of the fake Karate style 'Mushindo'. Sensei Christian was a 'Mushindo' instructor for a few years in the late 1960's. The thing was, Dukes has a level of skill in the martial arts. We believe he had been a student of Kyokushinkai Karate, so unlike most martial arts conmen of the early decades of Karate etc, he had a demonstrable ability, which helped masked the lies he was telling. As I say at the start, : In the kingdon of the blind, the one eyed man is king. Dukes setup 'Mushindo' to be a cult....and conned and abused a great many people in the 1960's and 70's.
Here's a BBC documentary from 1974. Several years after Sensei Christian .had left.
More later.
