I have to say, I like what you're trying to do here, however, when I asked Miyazato sensei about using judo techniques in karate, he was clear that this was a bad idea. He told me, "Judo is judo, karate is karate". I'm not sure where you got your 'quote' from as you don't cite your references. But it may not be a bad idea to check with a number of sources first before making statements of fact that others pick up and run with. This is the problem with looking into karate's history, there are very few westerners able to do it well. uberkermit is correct, the gi and obi were given to Yagi Meitoku sensei by the Miyagi family. It is now held by Yagi sensei's youngest son, Meitetsu sensei. He allowed me to take photographs of it when I interviewed him at his home in Kume, Okinawa. Ricardo is also correct when he says that Miyazato sensei took over the teaching at the garden dojo, but also at the Police HQ gymnasium where Miyagi sensei also taught. The kigu (training tools) are still in daily use at the Jundokan. Steve Lim is right also, the original Jundokan was built in Azato, next door to where the present dojo stands, in 1957. It was a small wooden building. I hope this information is helpful.
Miyazato Sensei taught no judo at his Jundokan and he did not incorporate any judo into his karate. This is one very specific question I asked at least a dozen of his deshi who were members at Jundokan for at least 25 years. I asked deshi who actually had training WITH Miyazato Sensei because you must remember, many men were members at that dojo but never received training from the "Dojo Kancho" (For what its worth I asked these deshi when they were giving me lessons at Miyzato Sensei's Asato dojo (aka Jundokan) - But other than that, keep up the good work and keep searching if that's your thing :)
you say that Miyazato sensei inherited Mioyagi's sensei gi,obi and hojo undo equipment.But in another video you say that Yagi sensei was gifted Miyagi's sensei gi and obi .

Superb 👍 SENSEI 🙏 Arigato
At 2:13, it is the photo of New Jundokan, it was built in 1971. The old Jundokan was also located at Asato.
Thank you for putting this information out. I am his son in law and am trying to find as much info as I can about him.
