I would like to throw out something for dicussion. I am looking for different ideas and theory's on this.
In the Okinawan styles, many of us have the same kata. IE, Nihanchi, Nifanchi, Tekki shodan, nidan, sandan.
Nihanchi in some styles starts from the left and in some styles starts from the right.
Kusanku, Konkudai, are all from the original same root, (I beleive ) and yet from style to style there can be anything from major to minor differences.
Anybody have any history on why this happened?
