Historical Masters

Hey all,

If you could choose one karateka from the past to train with, who would you pick, and why? They have to be deceased, and you cannot have trained with them while they were living.

Would certainly want to train under Miyahira, who taught my present sensei. It could have happened because he was still alive and teaching until early 2000’s(Master Miyahira passed in 2010).

Lived very near his dojo and crossed paths several times in Okinawa at karate related events and local festivals. 

Another one would be the founder of Shorin ryu小林流、Master Chibana Chosin who trained Miyahira and taught until his final day in 1969.
