By that argument, gekkisai dai ni should have been changed to straight-line too, and Seiyunchin, Shisochin, Kururunfa, Sanseru....and those Shotokan katas with long stances etc in Japan gosh THEY must have been expensive!! Sorry, its a naf explanation.
Hey, you know what opened my eyes and took me out of my confusion? The video that my student C. Chin had documented at your Dojo when I gave a seminar several years ago..... You are right, YOU SHOULD "leave it here".......
Oh yes, do tell the world how a layman came to your Dojo and fell on your leg to make you a cripple! Speaking about wife and kids, I feel sorry for yours. I don't challenge cripples or handicappers....... And yes you are a "cripple" in body, beside in your mind and spirit and all you have managed to do in the martial art world is confuse everyone with your nonsense....
Toguchi DID do it that way. Check his Bunkais and Kiso Kumites. You are now a Shorei-Kan expert? BTW, you can't even stand up to Urban's students. Do come to NYC and prove your worthiness. You had nothing when I knew you back then; you most likely have nothing now and you will never mount to anything in the arts except being deceitful and being a CRIPPLE.
Goju-Kai U.S.A. players perform this in a similar fashion. Differences: 1) The first three moves progress from sanchin dachi to zenkutsu dachi to shiko dachi. 2) The second step, which is repeated to the other direction on the fifth step, the seiken-zuki goes to upper place, not middle. 3) The kiai move with the shuto uchi is done in sanchin, not renoji dachi. 4) The 45 degree moves at the end are done with fast hand movement. 5) The final move is omitted.
History is that Geikisai Dai Ichi is for all styles that are linear with primary long stances, closed hands techniques such as Shurei-Ryus. Gekisai Dai Ni is primary for Goju-Ryu. Grand Master Chojun Miyagi wanted to introduce Kara-Te to the school system in Okinawa and he was hoping these two Katas will do it..... Of course politics prevailed so it never happened, so it just becamed part of the stable of the original Goju-Ryu katas making in a total of 12 Original Miyagi Goju-Ryu Katas.
@9loon- to whom you addresses your comments?

Compare Heian shodan of Shotokan to this. Very different styles in my opinion but I have respect for both :D 3rd dan Shotokan.

Has anyone heard from Goju Master Paul Okami?
He disappeared and I cannot get in touch with him?
