Thanks for posting this older article. this is one of the version of Rohai kata that we do. I learnt a couple of things from your post. Now I'm chasing down the internet rabbit hole to find representaions of Kensei and Denko

Hank Prohm posted this on The Old Cyberdojo on facebook " This is Kotaka Chuzos version of Rohai Nidan. The article was written by David Krieger, the same fellow who beat Chuck Norris during the 1968 friendship tournament between Hawaii and the mainland.

I taught Dr. Kriegers UH karate class while the photos for this article were being taken.


There is a comment in the article where Mrs. Kuniba, father of Shogo, says that Kotaka senseis kata looked "just like" her husbands.
