This is a portion of an interview I was fortunate to have with Master Okazaki. I love this story! This is a deleted scene from my film, "Looking for Mr. Miyagi." mrmiyagi.vhx.tv/
He would come to my little hometown in the middle of nowhere to administer exams to a little club of 60 or so members. Only just learned of his passing today :(
RIP Sensei. You gave me my shodan test and I was fortunate to train with you many times.

Thanks for your comments. Yes, Master Okazaki is a remarkable person and I too love this story.
Very funny story from master Okazaki. I'm pleasantly surprised to learn that master Funakoshi had a cat.
I love this video. Thank you very much for posting it. Okazaki Sensei is a wonderful story-teller and this was a great story!
Great Story and who knew that Funakoshi was a CATman too!
