I have heard many of the lesson and legends of Sensei Itosu, but I still don't know what's true or not. I am teaching my young son's the heian (pinan) forms now. They are beautiful and contain rudimentary elements that every karateka needs to be able to properly defend themselves. Even now as a 30 year old man, I still find them as beautiful and meat filled as I did as a teenager first learning them. Thank you to our karate fathers for passing on their families' arts and wealth of knowledge.
Great information, thank you!
Quite welcome!
