The kata are done differently because many people over the last century have deviated and created their own organizations and styles. I'm sure somewhere someone still does it this way but honestly there are probably as many versions of this kata as there are people teaching it.

@alufolieish Yes. In Japan, many Karateka have shodan by age 12.

I do Shorin Ryu. Nice to see that Naihanchi Shodan is done the same today as in OSensei's day!

[alufolieish]

@archuna11 You are 12 and have the first dan?! This can´t be original Karate! DD:

[Panducho]

@archuna11 yeah.. i got my black belt when i was 12 too.. now i´m 25, 4th Dan.. but i stopped training because i had a spine problem 5 years ago..

well.. this is the real one.. i guess the modern katas are kinda different.. less difficult. even Bassai Dai is quite different than the original one. i learned the original one.. from a japanese guy who came to my city train with us and give us some advices and all.. it´s a strong kata.. you need a strong will to do it perfectly.. and nowadays. meh

[archuna11]

yes I remember doing this kata 3 years ago. Now Im 12 and Im a black belt. But why is this different? Its just to make it easier for beginners in the "modern day".

[026nemanja]

Why are those katas done differently today?
