NGC Episode with Taira sensei

[mjolnir]

In an episode of the National Geographic Society on Karate with Josette Normandeau, I saw a sensei who was called "Taira sensei." Can anyone tell me what his full name is and which particular style of karate he teaches? Thanks.

not sure I havent seen this show but they may be talking about Taira Shinken he was very famous in the art of Kobudo.

Thanks for trying but no, I believe that it wasn't Taira Shinken Sensei because this particular episode was recent. In fact, the sensei featured works as an undercover cop in Okinawa.

I saw that show. Its either Shotokan or Shito Ryu

His name is Masaji Taira from Naha Okinawa. He teaches Okinawa Goju Ryu but does not teach people who he does not know.
