Boom!

After 1 month in Okinawa, I’m finally home again.

Although I’ve been to the birthplace of Karate over a dozen times now, the island of Okinawa never ceases to amaze me.

There’s always new secrets to discover – both inside and outside the dojo.

Unfortunately, many passionate Karate Nerds around the world don’t have the ability, time, money or knowledge to visit Okinawa.

So…

I brought a camera with me to film my trip!

The result is “Karate Nerd in Okinawa” – a free web series consisting of 8 episodes; exploring the history, culture, language, knowledge and traditions of Karate.
