Did Matsumura Soken do Naihanchi? I was taught that he Knew a form from the prior Tode that was like naihanchi and possible formulated Tekki sho from that. (I know he didn't call it Tekki btw.) and that Itosu created Tekki Ni and san.
Then just not long ago I read Shotokan's Secret by Bruce Clayton and Even if it's far fetched in somes opinion, I've got to say that his interpretation of Tekki Sho makes more since to me than any thing else I've heard. (Maybe I'm just an idiot.). Then just yesterday I was told by a man who travels to Okinawa and Japan to train, who btw is Dan Smith from Seibukan, that Matsumura didn't do any form of Naihanchi! Did he or didn't he?! HELP, before I lose my mind .
