Okinawa Times 1971 Roundtable: Karate Present & Future

This video delves into the history of modern Okinawa Karate through an illuminating discussion conducted in 1971. Against the backdrop of Okinawa's imminent return to Japan, prominent figures of the All-Okinawa Karate Federation (AOKF), including Higa Yuchoku, Miyazato Ei'ichi, Fukuchi Seko, & Uehara Takenobu, engage in a roundtable discussion sponsored by the Okinawa Times. The interview highlights the challenges and prospects confronting the Okinawan Karate community, as the conversation navigates issues of unity, the influence of mainland Japan's Karate organizations, and the effects of Karate competitions. The discussion provides insights from these key figures as they deliberate on preserving the essence of Okinawan Karate, addressing obstacles to unity, and finding a delicate balance between tradition and the evolving global identity of Karate as a sport.
