Hello all,
Any of you practice the Kata "Wankan"? I learned two versions, one is Shotokan, the other is Shorin-ryu. They are very different with each other. Each has their own beauty. However, the Shorin-ryu (Okinawan) version is longer and seems to be a "completed" Kata with a clear "theme" in it. While the Shotokan version seemed to end abruptly without a clear sense of closure. (My opinion anyway, please don't flame me).
Anybody else has any comments about this Kata?
