Shai Hai Sensei has had the kind of Karate journey that would make an incredible movie. From growing up in survival mode and making life and death choices at an age when most were busy being care free children.
To finding Martial Arts and following that path to a completely different country and culture to pursue his love of Karate, then travelling to Okinawa to seek permission to train with one of the most famous Karate Sensei in the world, a Sensei people refer to as an “Okinawan Superman.”
After a time being accepted but having to prove his sincerity by taking off his black belt and beginning again, and coming to realise that the path was hard and many times discouraging, but continuing anyway.
His story is inspiring, his deep respect for his Sensei and those who have guided his path is obvious, his humility is only matched by his skill and tenacity.
He is many things a Husband, Father, a Sensei in his own right. He is also a critically acclaimed actor, much like everything he does he finds Uechi Ryu Karate has applications in more ways than Martial.
This 3 part conversation is deep, wide ranging and to my mind inspirational.
To view him in action at his recent 6th dan grading, please watch this excellent mini documentary from the Okinawa Spirit YouTube channel:
