LINEAGE: From Okinawa to the World
What happens to the knowledge of a master when the generation that carries it begins to disappear?
In 1985, Ken Tallack arrived at the door of Meitoku Yagi in Okinawa. What followed were eight years of training, personal instruction, and firsthand experiences inside the Meibukan dojo.
Now, those memories have become a book, and we're inviting you to be part of its official launch.
Join us for a FREE live global event celebrating the release of Lineage, Transmission, and a Life in Karate: Training Under Meitoku Yagi in Okinawa.
📅 Tuesday, October 6, 2026
🕕 6:00 PM Eastern Time
🌎 Live online | Open to everyone
During this special evening, we'll explore:
• Ken's personal memories of training under Meitoku Yagi in Okinawa.
• The remarkable story behind the creation of the Byakko kata.
• The difference between learning a movement and receiving a tradition.
• The importance of preserving karate's history and knowledge for future generations.
• Questions from martial artists and guests around the world.
And, of course, we'll celebrate the official launch of the book with Hanshi Ken Tallack, Jean-Michel Tetreault, and Valerie Huard.
Whether you're a karate practitioner, instructor, historian, or simply interested in Okinawan culture, you're welcome to join us.
