This version of tekki kata, including all three stages demonstrated in succession, is presented as a part of my research of Master Gichin Funakoshi's Okinawan karate because he himself developed naihanchi further to create a style of practice that differed from his original method as he had been taught, though was / is not unlike some other lineages of Okinawan karate. All variations are relevant for research purposes, regardless of chosen style of practice. There are various ways of performing the movements of naihanchi / tekki. More than one version is shown, to add more value to the research presentation, considering the differences between performances by several students of Master Funakoshi. The point here is to show objectivity and comprehensive study.
The Funakoshi Okinawan Karate Kenpo Kenkyukai (Research Society & Study Group) is dedicated to studying and researching, in particular, Master Gichin Funakoshi's Okinawan Shorin-ryu karate kenpo teachings. For authoritativeness, Master Gichin Funakoshi's old Okinawan karate, his later developed karate, Master Gigo Funakoshi's karate, the developments of Shoto-kai, & every other karate kenpo lineage, are all considered.
