It is possible
to gain a greater understanding of the karate of Motobu Choiki through his son’s
Japanese video of his art.
And for the
really dedicated viewer, there is this intreaguing kata section at the very
end, Sort of a cross between Seisan, Naifanchi, and a touch of the Funakoshi
Hangetsu at the end of the first row but a touch more dynamic IMO.

White Bear and Changnan
2017-07-29
It is written. The name of the headquarters Morning Group is turned down because it is a co-author with Mr. Mabunin teacher though it is a story heard from the headquarters Asaki clearly. Such an attitude is not impressed, but anyway, the headquarters Morning Group was teaching Channan at that time in The Odaidokan.
Well, the type of this name is not transmitted now though the headquarters Morning Group taught Changnan. However, a type similar to pin-an two-stage is transmitted by the name of a white bear. So, is this white bear channan?
The author thinks that the creation is impossible because the white bear is a type of standing forward disliked by the headquarters Asaki. In addition, this type is also the type that most of the time from beginning to end in lateral reception. If the headquarters Asaki created it, it would be strange operatively if there were more hands on the attack.
On the other hand, if this type is Channan made by Mr. Itosu, the explanation is attached to the large use of the front bending stand and the side reception. However, why did Channan change the name to the white bear if it is so? Mr. Marukawa also knew the name of the white bear, so Genjuro Takano did not change the name.
After all, the truth is unknown. The white bear may or may not be Channan. I do not think that Channan is discovered now because there is no one who talks about Channan except the head office Asaki. It is an eternal mystery.
If the white bear were Changnan, where should this type be seen? It is the side receiving part of the white bear. This white bear goes out from the shoulder, that is, from the considerably upper part though the side reception (the outside reception called in all empty series) is usually brought out from the armpit. In addition, the angle of lateral reception is also shallow.
At the end of the DVD of "Headquarters Ryutong Surgery" from Quest Co., Ltd., the first half of the white bear by Shunpukan Enbu is recorded, so if you are interested, I hope you can buy it and watch it.
I believe this is the video being referenced. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-y1CDb314s
