funakoshi would send his senior instructor nakayama masatoshi, isao obata to manubi sensei and he would teach them kata that were not included in funakoshi syllabus, these kata were rohai(meikyo,wankan,chinte,unsu,sochin,nijushiho(niseishi)gojushiho,jiin,and bassai sho , Nakayama traveled to China as an exchange student, to further his studies in Chinese language and history. While in China he continued his karate practice and even taught a few classes. He came into contact with kung fu training under several masters. His main teacher was Sifu Pai, with whom he studied a Northern Kung fu style. Northern style kung fu is characterised by having long stances, deep punches and high flashy kicks. Under Sifu Pai, Nakayama learnt taisoku uke (pressing block with sole of foot) and reverse roundhouse/hook kick (ura mawashi geri). Both of these techniques were eventually incorporated into the Shotokan syllabus with the permission of Gichin Funakoshi.
