Thanks from my side also. We have been talking about this in our correspndence already, but maybe I should post here also that this Kyokushinkai branch is in Austria and the guy showing that lousy Happoren on their website is myself (15 years ago);)

[dejathorus]

Yep I have some old vids up of me performing kata that are about 12 to 15 years old, it's great though.

This Kata is called Papuren for one branch of Kyokushinkai Karate.

[dejathorus]

Its Nice Alberto :) Thank you.

Dont know if you still checking the replies here, but may I ask in which branch of kyokushinkai they are using this form?

In Shito Ryu we were doing a version that was quite close to this one under the name Happoren.

[dejathorus]

You will need to ask Alberto Cruz send him at message at his profile 'uchinadi' :)

[uchinadi]

It is certain, this Kata is practiced in the school Shukokai Shito-ryu with the Happoren name, but in other schools of Shito-ryu the Kata is very different

Good stuff. Five Ancestor style white-crane kata from Fujian, but also very Naha-te. Thanks for this posting!
