Gojushiho Clip

Interesting differences of Gojushiho kata between Shian Toma’s Seidokan version and Shito-Ryu version:

Seidokan Gojushiho by Shian Toma Sensei:

Shito-Ryu Gojushiho by Genzo Iwata Sensei:

The emphasis are certainly different when you compared both kata, and I believe the bunkai is also different. I would certainly love to learn the Okinawan version(Seidokan or other Shorin styles) in the future, and of course learning the bunkai so I can see the complete picture.
