Gankaku

[Scott James]

I do Chinto in Tang Soo Do.

Pretty much the same form. There's one added cresent Kick on the opening sequence. I see that alot with Korean versions of Japanese kata.

The bigest difference in in the pacing. The Korean version does not slow down. Every move is fast.

Other differences I have seen:

My school uses side kicks out of the crane stances. I have seen other TSD schools use a front kick. I have seen this variation in different Ryus as well.

Tends to be flashy in Korean. For example, some people teach the side kick on the crane stances to be very high, and the double front kick to be a very high jump.

I also find the bunkai to be less descriptive in the Koren context.

I have been using this form for years and spend alot of time reading about it to find better bunkai. The Ryus have been far more descritive in bunkai than any Korean document.
