Our version of Naihanchi is very close to yours, with only two slight differences. First is the movement through kosadachi. Our feet slide rather than lift and stomp. The second is the second block in the sweep check series. Ours is more of a lower out to inside block. I know the head of our system was a student of Toma Seiki so there is a lot of Seidokan in our kata and kihon.
these dojo's with a wooden floor like this always makes me think that they are just for decoration, not for training. I mean, I feel a strong contradiction between that floor and those kettlebells for instance. Doesn't it break and tear really easily ?
The kettlebells have rubber bases. Most Okinawan dojos have wood floor, as do most Japanese homes. It's very common. In Okinawan dojo with wood floors, they will usually place mats in the area where chiishi, sashi, tetsu getta, and other hojo undo equipment is used.
Nice video. As a result of our discussions in Orem, we practiced Niahanchi-dachi all-direction stability and shored up this rooted stance.

Excellent video.....Naihanchi kata is probably the most standardized kata across systems. Great job! :)
Thank you very much!
