    Great videos Tony. Thanks for posting them.

    I do always get a kick out of the moronic turds that insist on making their uninformed comments to videos like this.

    I believe that was 1999 and no I wasn't there. At that time we were with Iha sensei.

    Yeah, don't you love it. I guess ignorance is now a virtue.

    I was encouraged by the number of positive replies after the initial jerks made their comments....

    This is cool. Thanks, folks, for posting these!
    I realize you think you understand what you thought I said, but what I am not so sure about is whether what you think you heard is what I think I meant.

    Chibana so his students went elsewhere to learn it. I am sure
    Chibana knew them, he just did not include them in his syllabus.

    The footwork on whatever he is doing on what looked like the age hijiate at the 12 second mark looked really different. I don't understand that bow legged squat on the balls of your feet thingy.

    The basic embussen and most of the technques are like Matsumura Seito but a few of the postures are really different.
