It is not that nobody wants to talk about it. For me
personally hadn't had the time yet to read the article
thoroughly.
But still looking it over left me that I want to
purchase the books it was dealing with, to see where
Mr. Klemola came up with his enlightments.
Ohtsuka sensei stated a number of times that Naihanchi
was his favorit and there is more in the kata. So
that's very interesting.

So what were the parts you had a hard time with,
Tommi?
