David,
I sent the song to the 2 e-mail addresses that I have for you.

Hi David,
It sounds like Kuroshima Kuduchi to me.

Hi Tim,
I thought the DVD was good. He seems to have a good grasp on how other styles do Naihanchi 1 & 2 also. I also like the way they showed the 12 kumites from both sides (Mr. Motobu starting...
Maybe this will help?
Here is one from the early 1900's. What's interesting about this one is, notice which direction the dragon pillars are facing. Click on picture to view more.

Hmmm....I've been on Mr. Goodin's sites before but don't remember seeing that. Good to know.
Hi Tom,
That was not the best week to drive down with Spring break and bike week while doing the Orlando thing too with my kid.
I did go Robby's dojo and noticed it was closed, now I know why....
Hi David,
I know we discussed that before. I would've really enjoyed that. I had Tom H's (harleyt26) number from Eric's old forum and would've contacted him too. I had promised the real...
Hi Tim,
I'm not sure, it opens with windows media player for me. My pc at work opens directly to windows media player when I click on it and my pc at home prompts me to save it first.
Did you...
Yes it is!
I initially found it here while researching Kenjinkai in the United States. I was just in Florida last week outside of Ocala but I'd sure like to be where you are. :) I hope to return...
Rob,
Thank you. This would support/answer my question.

Yes, minor differences.
I agree.
No, I know it will be a great time though! I really enjoyed the 1996 and 2001 Anniversary celebrations and have a lot of great memories.

Hi Mark,
I don't think I would say "identical" but very close. In the link I provided, there are some extra moves such as double middle blocks. Aikyoshi Shiroma taught it at the NTS 2001 and is...
According to Iha Sensei, he calls it Gusukuma no Passai.
Here is a version of the kata by Joki Uema Sensei's group from their taikai held last year. Uema Sensei was a student of Chibana and...
Hi Prince,
Actually, you were one of the people I had in mind and knew you'd appreciate it. It's a nicely done website and maybe there will be more updates in the future.
BTW, you have a nice...
Back in July 2005, I found the following website by accident researching for something. The website just had a main page in Japanese until the website was just updated recently. It has a nice...
Not I, sez me. :) If you're as like-minded as I am about Chibana, then I know you're serious. I'll post something there soon. Nothing earth shattering, just something I was always interested in and...
My apologies - that is not an English version and it's exactly what Daniel stated.
The local mailman would pull his hair out! :)
Daniel: Did you receive an envelope with surveys from them...

Happy Holidays!

TJ,
I would be very interested in reading your research when you’re finished.
I sent you a PM.
Thank you,

...
May I politely ask do you know whether or not Mr. Nakata provided a copy to the Okinawa Government or the Prefectural Board of Education?
Respectfully,
Larry
