The Kata in Shorin Ryu Karate known as Naihanchi (Daipoping??) Has its beginning somewhere in China, of course as most Okinawan Kata,, but this particular kata remains a mystery as to whether it was developed on Okinawa or brought over from China that was taken from a more complex Chinese form..Do you know of any Chinese form or have video of any, from which the Naihanchi forms may have come from?? Thanks in Advance.
