Comparison of Useshi (Gojushiho) Kata...
The clip shown is from "Hohan Soken: The Life of a Grand Master", by Yamazato Productions, and is for educational purposes.
This is the kata ūsēshi (ueseishi/useshi/useishi/ueseshi), known as gojūshiho (gojushiho) in Japanese, both meaning "54 [steps]". The former name is the Okinawan pronunciation of Mandarin Chinese. There are many versions of ueseishi (gojushiho), written by Master Gichin Funakoshi in his text "Karate Jutsu" ("Ryukyu Kenpo Karate") to be individual kata. When more than one version was known, it came to be standard practice to name one version of the kata with the suffix "dai", and the other (if there were just two) with the suffix "shō". In modern Shōtōkan karate, two versions of gojūshiho are practised - gojushiho dai and gojushiho sho (54 steps [big], and 54 steps [little]). This is a practice that dates back centuries in China, so was not an Okinawan addition. But some versions were, and may still be, separated by including the name of the creator, for example Itosu ūsēshi, or Itosu no ūsēshi. Note that "no" is Japanese, while "nu" is Okinawan. But Itosu no useshi is a mix of dialects anyway.
According to Sensei Kanazawa of Shotokan karate, in his book "Karate: The Complete Kata", the version of gojūshiho which is commonly known as the "dai" version ("shō" in Kanazawa's school) was introduced (or re-introduced) by Master Kanken Toyama, while the version commonly known as "shō" was from Master Kenwa Mabuni, and apparently carried some changes from Master Mabuni. Both kata are similar to each other, and appear to be from Master Itosu, each as its own version of Itosu useshi. They both possess great similarities with Matsumura gojushiho (ueseishi), which is the demonstrated version in this upload. Gojūshiho [shō] appears closer on one hand (with shihon nukite techniques, for example), while gojūshiho [dai] seems closer on the other hand (for example, stepping back for the third punch in the "double punch, front kick, punch" combinations near the beginning of both kata). And then both have similarities with each other which differ from Matsumura gojushiho. Master Tōyama's gojūshiho was apparently called koryu gojushiho. Note that both Tōyama and Mabuni studied under Master Itosu. Master Funakoshi would have known what the most appropriate name was for each version (dai/shō). And Funakoshi may have known one or more versions of ūsēshi, which might have included Matsumura no ūsēshi, since he studied under Masters Asato and Matsumura (who taught Asato). But he would have originally known Itosu gojushiho, as would Mabuni and Toyama. Itosu gojushiho can be seen being demonstrated by the students of Shidokan Shorin Ryu karate and Kyudokan Shorin Ryu karate. Each is slightly different to the other, but they are so similar overall. Therefore, they show Itosu useshi, while Shotokan gojushiho [dai and sho] are alterations of Mabuni's for gojushiho sho, and gojushiho dai possibly having changes from Toyama (which, depending on the specifics, may be related to other teachers like Master Yabu Kentsu), and then with further changes being evident in gojushiho sho when compared with Mabuni gojushiho, those additional alterations being from Master Funakoshi (based on analysis). Gojushiho dai, then, is most likely also a Funakoshi kata, and is based on both Itosu gojushiho and Matsumura gojushiho. If I or someone else could find Toyama's gojushiho, then it could be made absolutely certain who made what changes to that version as it was introduced into Shotokan [Shorin Ryu] karate (Japanese version, but then in the Okinawan version {Funakoshi-ha Shorin Ryu karate kenpo} too). There is a book that was written by Master Toyama, so that might be fruitful for the topic of gojushiho/useshi, if I can find a copy of it, ideally translated as well. I am presently confident, however, that both Shotokan gojushiho kata are Funakoshi versions of the ancestral kata. Another point I will mention is that Yabu useshi, named as such in the book "Classic Kata of Shorinji-ryu" by Leroy Rodrigues (whether it is the original Yabu useshi or not), further corroborates several techniques that are illustrated in the two versions of Itosu useshi in Shidokan and Kyudokan, though also shows other movements which differ, making it Yabu's version, and interestingly illustrating some techniques that are like those in Mabuni's useshi, specifically the sword-hand movements executed some way into the kata, whilst stepping forwards. Mabuni could well have been influenced by his senior, Master Kentsu, while the opposite arrangement is unlikely, I believe.
