Amazing kata! Extremely fluid and I think much more beautiful than you normally would see, for example in competitions. It looks almost like a combination of Wing Chun movements and Karate movements. Does anyone know if that's the way he teaches goju katas to his students as well?

@tellet6 Of course that is the way he teaches his students. Check his videos of him doing kata slow motion in my collection. He was the co-chairman of the IOGKF and lived and trained with Higaonna Sensei in Japan at the Yoyogi dojo. They together are true Go= Higaonna and Ju= Chinen. I have several other old videos from the 70's of both of them performing kata.

That's his dojo around his house.

Sadly Sensei's house and home dojo burned down this past December

@NewEnglandBudo Wow, thats a bummer. For those of us that live close to Spokane. Do you have the address of the school. That is if Sensei has rebuilt. thanks

[NewEnglandBudo]

@MrLB78 He lost his home & home dojo. I believe that the Dojo on Perry is still very active. Check your phone book.

When they started talking about gardening they showed his kata.

Very fluid form!

I stayed at sensai Chinen's house for a week, 13 hrs of training everyday. Goshu ku is brutal practice. Sensai Chinen would always be watching my back like a hound.

Do you really think because they have master or grand master in front of their name they can't play politics or lie.

Ignore all that as it occurs everywhere.Look at the technique if it's good the rest is just nit picking and jealousy and this is very good indeed.

Look for his bunkai for seiunchin .INCREDIABLE.
