Karate Kata Video Compilations

[Gimbo]

Interesting seeing those kata videos from the shitokai website. Just from the ones I know (I can't belive how many katas I dont know yet) there are some minor differnces in some and some major diferences in others. I noticed that in Matsumura Ha Rohai the only real difference is that after the grab we just do a double punch but the version on the video shows forward into shiko-dachi kentsui and cross punch (across the stomach can't remember what its called). I wonder why that variation exists. Lots of little things I noticed in the other katas, makes me wonder where these variations are coming from.
