Tokomine no kun Bo kata - 1 of 3 -Angi Uezu -Isshinryu

Actually, these are from Dahlgren, Virginia. At the NSWC (Naval Surface Warfare Center - as it existed then) where Byron Coleman had his school. Thats the base gym. Byron later moved his school to Fredricksburg. Not to mention that very likely without permission to post these videos, you are violating copyright. I also see you don't post the intro from Bryon and his wife Kay.

@frederickbarton, indeed I do not have direct permission from Byron Coleman. However, I do have tacit permission from Master Uezu, who is quite happy that these are out here. I am not trying to make any profit from these. I simply want to be sure his work is shared with the world. These videos are more than 20 years old, and I for one would hate to see them lost to history, as so much of Master Shimabuku's work was.

I took karate from Sensei Coleman when I was about 16...great teacher and a wonderful man.

Setboy1,

All the videos I have posted are from 1986 in Fredericksburg, VA. This was Sensei Byron Coleman's Virginia Isshinryu Karate Academy. He's the bald man in the videos, who hosted several of Master Uezu's trips to the USA.

Thanks for the info.
