@Jumoklord

Really, so you see the Hung Gar in the Okinawan Karate. Would love to know where you train. Glad to see that Kung Fu stylist recognize the "chineseness" of Okinawan karate.

@Sasuake1000The stances never really stay the same. Karate (in whichever form) adapts, adjusts and modifies itself back and forth all the time. I've been taught many ways of doing things and if I ever had to change something, it's because it's different and not specifically 'wrong'. It's just a matter of emphasis. Do you put the emphasis on the power of the punch, on where your balance/weight is, whether or not you cross distance, or stay solid. They're choice in stances/Karate. Not always wrong

This is one of my favorite katas. Its flow is surreal. I hope that when i finally get to learn it, i can do it justice.

@mkalel At my school our idea of "forward" feet is more turned in. If you were to draw a triangle outline of your foot, we go off the center of your foot to define it pointing "forward",but it appears as though Shimabuku is going off of the inside of his foot to define his feet as facing forward.My sensei also says its good to make it a happen to face too far inward than to far out, so it may just be something that changed along the lines of Shimabuku,Harold Long,and Michael Caldwell(my teacher)

@Sasuake1000 I study Shorin Ryu under Tatsuos' younger brother Eizo Shimabukuro. Now I am not sure if when Shimabukuro Sensei created the Isshin Ryu style he changed more then the fist placement in the punches. Now I may be misunderstanding you when you say "forward feet"..but do u mean the toes pointing inward like in Sanchin? If this is the case we do not do that either in Seisan..we stay in a basic stance like Zenkustu-dachi. I may have been no help..but let me know and maybe i can elaborate

@Bazilinthewoods That is the single most intelligent and helpful response to that question that I have EVER received. Thank You. (Seriously, no sarcasm)
