Document the stories of Okinawan karate masters and their philosophy on life and their martial arts practice. 2. Record in the highest quality possible. Ideally 4K or 8K, RAW, multi camera, multi audio 3. Store the original data as an archival record. 4. Transcribe and translate the recordings to spread knowledge of Okinawan martial arts, history and culture. 5. Make the videos available for free online via YouTube, and on Bujin.tv so that anyone, anywhere can see them. The documentary series grew out of the Karate Masters Portrait Project which began in 2012. The portrait project allowed amazing access to the sensei, but it was only Chris Willson and James Pankiewicz who got to hear their stories. The documentary series is a way for us to share that unique knowledge with the international karate community, and to archive aspects of Okinawan culture before they disappear.
