Sensei: Masters of Okinawan Karate - International Episode - Arcenio J. Advincula

Sensei: Masters of Okinawan Karate is a crowd-funded YouTube documentary series about the legendary martial arts teachers of Okinawa, Japan.

In this bonus international episode, Arcenio J Advincula sensei talks about studying Isshinryu karate, Ryukonkai kobudo, and escrima.

MSGT Advincula USMC (RET) also discusses his life in the United States Marine Corps as a drill instructor and later pioneering their martial arts programs leading to his award of Black Belt Emeritus.

Will all the videos be on YouTube?

Yes the videos will be available for free on YouTube to anyone who wants to watch and learn from these great sensei. This video is a bonus episode in a series of at least 12 interviews with Okinawan karate masters. Hopefully individuals, dojos, or karate organizations would be willing to help sponsor or support the project to allow us to keep making videos.

How can you help?

Give the video a thumbs up, comment, and subscribe to the channel. 

Share the videos through social media with others who are interested in Okinawa, Japan, martial arts, history etc..

If you, your dojo, or your organization is interested in helping sponsor the series, I’d love to hear from you. 

This documentary series would not be possible without the help of the international karate community. Thank you all.

We are now shooting with two 4k cameras (FS5 and A7Sii). There are still many improvements to be made, and hopefully we'll keep progressing with each video. Ideally we'd get a proper boom mic to improve audio, audio recorder, cinema lenses, more powerful lights, and we need greater data storage as we're working with huge 4K Pro Res Raw files.
