Thank you for dedicating yourselves to the martial arts in this format. As far as this video is concerned, however, as Itosu's biographer, I am sorry to say that it contains many errors and anachronisms - starting with the opening photo, which shows Japanese fencing master Miyake Sango and not Itosu Ankō (1831-1915). The photo issue was corrected several years ago. It is very important to make this clear, otherwise such kind falsehoods based on incorrect sources and interpretations regarding Itosu will continue to spread.
Hi Mr. Feldmann, thank you for reaching out to us with these comments including the photo discrepancy. We'd love to have you on the show to correct the record and chat with us about Itosu. Please reach out if you are interested and we'll arrange the details.
@@pkcc Sure, let's do this. I just finished my book about Yabu Kentsu and started promoting it but will certainly find time to also talk about Itosu Anko. To arrange the details we should switch to email. Just let me know your address. Many thanks - Thomas
If you contact us through the form here we can switch to email. Happy to talk about Yabu Kentsu and your latest book as well. Thanks! www.punchkickchokechat.com/contact
