gspell68 Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 I'm not sure that whole styles were lost, but I'm sure there were great teachers with their own methods and outlooks on training that were lost at the end of WWII.Yep. 1944-45 saw the passing of masters like Motobu, Funakoshi (Gigo), Hanashiro, Tokuda, and Kyan.A couple of them never got to really formalize their knowledge into a “style”, yet their students did.
