Okinawan Funakoshi Sochin Kata


An illustration of what the old Okinawan version of Funakoshi-Kudaka sōchin-gata may have looked like, including chōji-dachi / teiji-dachi rather than fudō-dachi / sōchin-dachi, as Master Funakoshi described, and as seen in other Okinawan karate schools, and showing two variations for the end of the kata. Kudaka sōchin appears to also be of the dragon style, flowing with double techniques, like Aragaki nisēshi and unsu (and sōchin).
