Chinen & Higaonna Demo Series Part 1

1970's era video of Sensei Teruo Chinen performing Seyunchin, Shisochin, Seipai, Seisan & Kururunfa slowly and at various angles. He also breaks down the more difficult moves slowly. Then demos and hard hitting action from 1975 Long Beach CA WUKO tournament featuring numerous hard hitting old-school kumite. (no pads or mouth pieces here, folks!!)

Demonstrations by Morio Higaonna Sensei, Fumio Demura Sensei, and rare footage of Hironori Ohstuka, founder of Wado Ryu. Plus much more, it was originally shot on 8 m.m. film and transferred to VHS and now mpg.

08/11 I received this info from Bakkies Laubscher Sensei of the IOGKF "The event was 1975 WUKO World Champs in Long Beach Ca. and features the South African team, of which I was a member. The footage of the fighting was taken by a teammate and the demos by myself on Super 8 movie! This was before the IOGKF was founded in 1979, so it was Higaonna Sensei with his 'Kohei, Chinen Teruo Sensei performing."
