He later changed the name to <em>Hokatsu Tekkina<\/em>, Japanese for \u201ccomprehensive&#8221;, and also made a few amendments. This is my humble effort to perform the kata in its original form. I fluffed a few moves and couldn`t do it at full speed because I am too fackin old now \ud83d\ude0e but I doubt Stan would have kicked up a fuss over my rendition of what is, in my opinion, an enduring work of karate genius.
