How did you learn Kyokushin Kanku Kata?




Konnichiwa Roshiichi:

I have been working on the Kyokushin version of Kanku. My question was about the hand that does the kake uke towards the end of the Kyokushin Kanku kata. Is the kake uke done with the same hand or the opposite hand that is doing the yon nukite? I learned it with the opposite hand. Although I have also noticed a couple of other small differences, in other versions of kanku. For example the number of moroashi dachi/shuto gedan berai, might also call them age ushiro geri/shuto gedan berai moves that are done? I learned the kata with 3 steps up, 3 down. I know that the kata came from the Shotokan Kanku dai kata, but I have to say that the Kyokushin version is far from its parent kata. What would Funakoshi, Sensei and Oyama, Sosai say?

I have seen 3 steps up 3 steps down, opposite hand for yon nukite.
