bro, this is shodan, not nidan, nidan is middle block, not lower block, with middle level punches(this is learning from a 9th dan who trained with Giro Funakoshi in the 60's) he opened the first shotokan dojo in 1968 in New York(his name is Hector Martinez)

Isn't that funny. My Shito-Ryu Sensei was teaching Shotokan katas! Stupid...because looking at the techniques, he didn't even get those right!

You sir, have tremendous potential, and I can tell that it is a natural potential at that. For the future martial artists to come to you to train, don't stop your hard work.

is taikyoku shodan...
Taikyoku Shodan uses low blocks and middle blocks, Nidan uses low blocks and head level punches. Yes, they look really alike.

Incorrect.
The sequence of Taikyoku Nidan is identical to that of Shodan except that in Nidan, all punches are upper level instead of middle level attacks.
