Fumio Demura & Tsutomu Ohshima

[ronin752]

This documentary is very shallow. This is no where close to the original art. This is modern art.

[PacRimJim]

Recognize the voice of the narrator?

It's Sulu from Star Trek.

My brother and I took karate from Sensei Demura in the 70's and 80's. He used to send me to McD's next door to get his coffee after every lesson, and he teased my shy self unmercifully :) He's still a lifelong friend of the family, especially my mom. The doctors tried to kill him recently--hope he gets back to his good ole self soon so he can get back to teaching and makin' movies.

Could watch him all day, huh.

[lucamagri98]

He Went to my house, I lost the origami :(

[moo1029384756]

I MET HIM IN PERSO NAND HE MADE ME AN ORAGAMI! :)

[MegaNewbie100]

Ok, he simply IS one of the best

[MegaNewbie100]

For me, Demura is one of the best Karateka

Demura sensei was extremely handsome when he was young!

thanks for sharing

Demura was actually the stunt double for Mr. Miyagi. Pat Morita learned limited judo during the war, but never actually learned karate.

Is George Takei (Lt. Sulu of Star Trek) the narrator? Good video.

[iprimateman]

@yanki161 sure sounds like him!!

[PakDaeHan]

I like his KIAI sound like Samurai Yell!!!!!

[rp1322]

Demura has brutal technique, I wasn't impressed by the techniques from the latter students though.

[PraiseDivineMercy]

LOL, that is George Takei.

Demura-san, a real gentleman and a great ambassador of karate-do. Been a while since I last saw him, I hope he is well! Gambatte!!

[bloodriotiori]

[Mocktezuma111]

@sanval1a

[kempobrad]

i always thought te was indigenous to okinawa, and when chinese chuan fa(kempo) came to okinawa and blended with te (ti in hogen dialect) it was called tode (china hand) or to te jutsu. and was later changed to karate (china hand), then the meaning of karate was changed again to empty hand.

This is an excerpt from the A&E Channel called "The Martial Arts." I've shown this video countless times to students (I'm a teacher), and practically have it memorized. It is a VERY good film.

[bloodriotiori]

i've had the honor of seeing him at my school a few times in the past, he's truely a great man

[Mider999]

Id like to see the greats from every art imaginable in a tournament no holds barred, Fumio Demura, Dan Inosanto, Royce Gracie, Matt Hughes, Brock Lesnar, Id like to see them all go at it in a tournament

[bloodriotiori]

as would i sir, as would i :)

[kamouri]

[Bushidao]
