@Carl2 No that's about as far as my knowledge goes back on the subject. I'm sure there's some semblance of lineage if you know where to look though.
-
@zkwski I understand there are a crap load of versions for Dia and Sho. Can ya trace back versions to specific instructors?
-
@R0CKY44 Yes thank you for the clarification
-
@Carl2 Both bassi dia and bassai sho have been interpreted and changed to fit the will of their interpreters over the years. Do a little bit of research and you'll start seeing the different versions. I think there's 5 main stream

Very rudimentary bunkai, he give little to no acknowledgement to the turns. The opening move has a very specific hand positioning, it's not just a twin knife hand guarding block (for lack of a better term) as he does it. And there is also no way that it's simply a flinch repose like that. Additionally, interpreting mirroring mountain blocks as simply single move blocks is half baked.

Mister Funakoshi, according to my grandfather, was one of the toughest guys in high school. Nothing to do with Karate, just straight street fighting. Many people can confirm this as true in hawaii, it is well known that the funakoshi family was a tough bunch before his Karate era. All i here at the "OLD TIMERS PARTIES" is "funakoshi, tough bugga" my grandfather isnt in martial arts, just a high school classmate. He also played football in high school with my grandfather.
