This Kata is practiced in the Chi-Too-Ryu branch of the Kyokushinkai in Germany.

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);)

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

cool

[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

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

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.
