Katherine Sensei, this may be an old footage, but looking good as usual! You may remember me... Traveling from NC, USA in February 1996. You were the 'excellence' in introducing me into the Jundokan. Keep up the spirit of Karate-do! ...Karl
This video was taken in April, 1993, on a mountain side of Australia after I finished teaching and was having fun. It was PAL SECAM and when transformed into NTSC it came as black and white. I am 55 years old... not quite 60 yet, but almost... smile... Katherine
Actually she was Matsubayashi ryu, but was kicked out of the HQ dojo in Okinawa or quit or both. I hear she was KO'd in Hawaii. She joined Goju ryu and got 6th dan very quick. I wonder how?? The video isn't that old, it's in Black and White to look that way.
I am Matsubayashi Shorin Ryu and Goju Ryu Karate Do practitioner. I have Rokudan In Shorin Ryu and Godan in Gojuryu... lived on Okinawa for 14 consecutive years and felt it was time to live and to work on other countries as well... I regret to say, I have never been in Hawaii...
Sakugawa No Kon by Loukopoulos Sensei is much much better than this.. I think this is very old video.. But, in 1997 Sakugawa No Kon a great improvement compared to this video.. Gambatte Kudasai Loukopoulos Sensei :)

Katherine Sensei,
Your kobudo kata (bo) in 1997 world tournament is much much better than this Seipai)
Warm regards..
