At the beginning of the show, Mr. Stolsmark talks about his 2 upcoming seminars, "Kobudo Friendship Gashuku" in October, and the "Warrior Gasshiku" in June of Next year. He then talks about the history of Shorin Ryu Shorin Kan karate and how different branches of Shorin Ryu in Okinawa developed from the teachings of Chosin Chibana. We also discuss the history of weapons arts in Okinawa, specifically Matayoshi Kobudo and his teacher Yoshiaki Gakiya. Afterwards, we compare notes on the different village martial arts, which you can still see in festivals around rural Okinawa. We wrap up the show by talking about WW2's lasting effects on Okinawa.
