Kushanku

Here's some vintage footage of Kushanku performed by Nakama Haruka [dob 1926] I'd like to share with you. Apparently filmed on the mainland of Japan [Yokosuka] and not in Okinawa as labeled.

@toshiro858 Hi! Nakama-sensei trained very short time with Okuhara-sensei, and even though he tried to keep the kata right, he was a bit confused how to perform it correctly.. The one kata that Nakama-sensei did correct was Seisan, the other kata was a bit different due to his own interpretation and also Okuhara-sensei's own interpretation... Okuhara-sensei had a female sempai who learned from Kyan-sensei in 1919, before Kyan moved to Kadena area...

what music is that?

[toshiro858]

i know that Nakama was a stickler for keeping the katas right. im pretty sure he didn't change it from the way he learned it.

@Tiarka yes

So....is this the original Kushanku? Because I perform the Wado ryu version and I know that it has been modified and probably not performed the way that it was orignally handed down.
