Master Funakoshi was in Okinawa for 17 years after the introduction of the Pinan katas. He helped in introducing them in the elementary schools. He did not learn them in Japan from Master Mabuni who was his junior by 20 years both in age and in karate. They are pictured in Master Funakoshi's 1926 book Rykyu Kenpo:Karate. Mabuni Sensei did not come to Japan until at least two years after its publication. Masatoshi Nakayama did create the current Unsu based on instruction from Master Mabuni in 1949. Hironori Ohtsuka did receive advice from Mabuni on certain kata--Naunly naihanchi and Bassai and Kushanku. But though friends and compatriots, Master Funakoshi was never a student of Mabuni.
there is also a high chance of master funakoshi knowing them from the time they were called channan, before the introduction of school karate in okinawa, as for unsu now there are videos of isao obata students doing it from the time they were added by gigo funakoshi and masatoshi nakayama still with the ipon nukite instead of the shutos

Thank you for this insightful video really appreciate it.
Let him punch twice fast and see if your explanation works. I don't think so
Ridiculous hip rotation, way too telegraphic. You'd get hit twice in the time it takes.
