Very nice. I love the history and variation of the art. At the same time I like being traditional. My Kobayashi Shorin Ryu sensei's Master taught all our kata the way he learned from Chibana/Nagazato sensei. Then we learned variations. No two fights are the same.
There is a lineage of Chinese boxing that claims Anan was the nickname for a Chinese sailer named Lao Leong who was shipwrecked in Tomari and took refuge in the hill tombs. Supposedly his daughter later married one of the tomari pechin who had traded housing for boxing lessons.
Great video as always Jason! Just a quick question, the Matsumura you show in the video has the name of Matsumura Hosaku. Do you mean Matsumora Kosaku who was a Tomari Sensei? Or Sokon Bushi Matsumura? The reason I ask is that the common history of the shipwrecked sailor is usually attributed to Bushi Matsumura, however styles like Matsubyashi Ryu teach a version called Tomari Chinto which apparently comes from Matsumora Kosaku. That version is quite different to the Matsumura version.
Not the bunkai we use in our line either for the statistical reasons I quote & our impact bias, but nonetheless I have seen a number of quite different styles' Japan trained 8th Dans display arm bar variants in the opening move as their classical interpretation. Remember though, kata moves are icons (often heavily abbreviated versions of the full application)...
Excellent, well-researched presentation! You bring honor to your teachers!

My favorite of Matsubayashi ryu

Very Nice video. Thank you for doing that

Yes the above is referring to Sokon Bushi Matsumura. But good call to bring up Matsumora Kosaku given the names can be confused...
very good video.it explains a lot
Very nicely done. Excellent. Where is your dojo?
Are you sure that's the right leg up at 4:52, Shihan?
The armbar you show and the kata look nothing alike

Jason Armstrong ...interesting. I saw the hair grab/neck pull and punch, and immediately saw bunkai for Naihanchi and Wansu.
If you wait till the very end... the best information is revealed. It covers applications and why they’re practicing for law enforcement and not UFC.
