I saw some Tang Soo Do practitioners doing Chinto and they did it with yuko geri/side kick instead of the mae geri. I was wondering where Tang Soo Do got it from, and yes, they call it Chinto, too.

If Tang Soo Do is primarily influenced by 1930s-40s Shotokan (when Yoshitaka's influence was highest), that would make sense.
So, when did the name "Gankaku" start to take hold?

The Tang Soo Do version I saw was identical to the Shito Ryu version I was doing except for the yuko geri instead of mae geri. The one thing I did notice was that the Tang Soo Do practitioner who is a skilled martial artist seemed to be doing Chinto in a very static way. Didn't really have much timing, looked very "rigid". No doubt in my mind that he had martial art ability because I did see him spar but his rythm and movement of Chinto seemed weird to me. Funny thing about this was that he judged my Chinto at an all styles tournament in 95, I believe...I saw him do Chinto when he was competing after me, go figure.
He came up to me later saying my form was good except I should side kick and I told him that's not how I was taught which caused him to give me a weird look like I was full of it.
BTW, Chinto was my favorite Kata to perform in tournaments.I even got first place in a WTF Tae Kwon Do tournament with it in 96 or 97. I was surprised at the time that they judged me to have first place being that this was a TKD tournament and I wasn't doing a TKD form. I wish I could say I did as well in sparring at the TKD tournament but I found out the hard way WTF rules literally doesn't score tsuki. Even though I literally knocked my opponent down multiple times with tsuki. My lesson learned from this? I love Kata but point competition under WKF/usankf rules, foam dipped all styles tournaments, and WTF TKD tournaments isn't for me. I think that was the last point tournament I ever did, or close to it.

It is believed that somewhere down the line someone changed the Kata as well as the name.

I believe the JKA was formed in the 1950s.Originally Posted by Prince Loeffler
The younger Funakoshi (Yoshitaka or Giko) was active during the 30s and early 40s as the main technical developer of the Shotokan system and it seems that techniques like the yokogeri-keage found in the Heian (Pinan) kata as well as Gankaku are a direct result of his influence.
Forum member Harry Cook is probably the person to ask.
